GenomeQuest, a US-based provider of sequence data management (SDM) products, has announced that it has joined the Personalized Medicine Coalition (PMC). PMC is a not-for-profit advocacy and educational coalition that advances the understanding and adoption of personalised medicine.
The company also announced that it would sponsor the personalised medicine conference at Harvard Medical School. Now in its seventh year, the meeting serves as PMC's annual conference and brings together leaders from across the personalised medicine field.
The initiative follows an announcement earlier this month to advance whole-genome sequencing to clinical diagnostics reporting. Clinical practitioners can now interactively produce and query a patient report for genetic tests spanning over 2000 inherited diseases from a single whole-genome or exome sequence.
GenomeQuest is a sequence data management company providing applications and services to search, manage and mine the world's sequence data. The core technology of the company is the GQ-Engine - a sequence database engine that is purpose-built for storing, managing, and analysing sequence data at whole- and multi-genome scale.
