PetaGene
PetaGene enables smaller, faster, better genomics data. The costs of storing and transferring genomic data are rapidly growing relative to the cost of sequencing, and threaten to overtake sequencing costs over the next five years.
PetaGene’s multi-patent pending Bayesian approach can reduce the size of genomic data by up to a factor of five, reducing storage costs and accelerating transfers, while even potentially improving the quality and speed of downstream analyses.
