SYGNIS has announced the launch of TrueHelix, a new bioinformatics service platform for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) providers and customers.
The first service launched on the TrueHelix platform will be TruePure, a bioinformatics tool that validates sample purity and checks for potential sample contamination. This is a key concern in NGS workflows and can originate either from the lab environment or introduced during the sequencing process.
Heikki Lanckriet, Co-CEO and CSO of SYGNIS said:
“NGS users face many challenges when analysing the raw data – sample contamination is a key concern that hampers accurate data analysis.”
Often contamination goes unnoticed resulting in poor quality results and potentially faulty analysis. With the TruePure tool, customers obtain information on the quality of the data and contamination.
The TrueHelix platform and tools will be available to all NGS users and will be of particular interest to scientists engaged in Whole Genome sequencing data analysis.
“Our ambition is to support our customers by providing them with added value tools and services that will address the key pitfalls in their workflows, while showcasing SYGNIS’ expertise and knowledge in NGS bioinformatics,” said Lanckriet.
