By licensing the Cartagenia Bench software, Atlas Biolabs has expanded its services for the evaluation of genetic data obtained by DNA chip analysis.
With the aid of this web-based interpretation software, it is possible to screen for disease- and family-specific genetic variations and compare them with public data online.
It also provides a database-assisted platform for project-related collaboration between different scientific institutions.
Thus, customers of Atlas Biolabs can easily match genetic data and results.
Cartagenia Bench processes DNA data from all common chip assay systems, including Affymetrix, Agilent and Nimblegen, which are handled at Atlas Biolabs.
In addition to academic institutions, centres specialised in human genetic testing and cytogenetic laboratories may benefit from Atlas Biolabs' new service.
