New Program Encourages Wide Distribution of Genomic Data

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 29 Oct 2014
A new data sharing program allows genomics researchers and practitioners to analyze, visualize, and share raw sequence data for individual patients or across populations straight from a local browser.

The sequencing revolution is providing the raw data required to identify the genetic variants underlying rare diseases and complex traits alike. The NextCODE (Cambridge, MA, USA) Exchange was designed to meet the next challenge: it links the researcher to a proven sequence analysis platform and enables secure and seamless collaboration and validation of findings with colleagues and institutions around the world.

The Exchange is powered by NextCODE’s unique GOR informatics system. Optimized on whole-genome data from 350,000 people, it standardizes, manages, and queries massive sequence data with unrivalled computational efficiency. The user can visualize aligned raw sequences and collaborate and share data—in full compliance with individually established rules and consents, without transferring big files, straight from a local browser.

"The genomics community is now generating the sequence data to solve more rare disease cases and find high-impact variants in complex traits. The ability to visually confirm findings in raw sequence at a click, and to validate findings by securely sharing data with other researchers working on the same diseases elsewhere, will help to crack more difficult diagnostic cases and speed discovery. We have a fantastic group of launch partners, global leaders in rare disease and autism research, who will be able to use and demonstrate the Exchange's scalability and reach," said Dr. Jeffrey Gulcher, president and CSO of NextCODE.
