↑ 0%Here, AWS is working with the likes of California-based company Ultima Genomics, which has developed software, algorithms and training of its AI models on AWS for its next-generation DNA sequencer.
Ultima Genomics, developer of an ultra-high-throughput sequencing architecture, today announced the launch of its "Count on Us" initiative.
Commercial launch of UG 100 Solaris which includes new chemistry, software, and simplified workflows for the UG 100 sequencing platform, now with expanded applications support and integration with leading 'omics' technologies. Over 50% increase in output to 10 to 12 billion reads per wafer and pricing reduced by 20% to $0.24 per million reads, enabling the $80 genome. Increased sensitivity with 5X yield improvement for the SNVQ60 ppmSeq™ mode enabling 30X coverage from as little as 2 nanograms of DNA (1/5th of the cfDNA found in a standard tube of blood)
Compugen enhances its AI/ML predictive Computational Discovery platform, Unigen(TM) with Ultima Genomics' Single Cell Genomics sequencing technology.
Genome Sequencing Cost CurveFor most of the history of medicine, doctors have been limited to observing symptoms and trying to alleviate them. This has been especially true for non-infectious diseases stemming from dysfunction in the body, including genetic diseases.With the discovery of DNA structure and function, awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize in Medicine , we started to have a better understanding of how the biological system truly works. PCR technology, awarded the 1993 Nobel Prize in Medicine , would open new ways to analyze it.This further expanded when full genomes started to be sequenced. The first human genome was sequenced in 2003 after 13 years of hard work, for a cost of $3B. Quickly, full-genome sequencing started to become cheaper and cheaper. By 2007, it would cost “only” $1M to sequence a full genome
