Damla Senol Cali, PhD, employees software program engineer, {hardware} acceleration at Bionano and George Vacek, PhD, international head of genomics alliances at NVIDIA previewed the businesses’ collaborative improvement, a next-generation compute answer for the evaluation of OGM information from excessive throughput programs . Sheila Purim, PhD, MBA, senior director of phase advertising and marketing, introduced the Bionano Innovator Analysis Grant, which is able to award 5 winners with OGM expertise designed to gasoline analysis in various areas, together with hematologic malignancies, cell remedy, reproductive well being and precision drugs . Adam Smith, PhD, FCCMG, FACMG, erCLG from College Well being Community, College of Toronto, introduced on use of the VIA software program in his scientific analysis, and Alexander Hoischen, PhD, from Radboud Genomics Know-how Heart introduced on use of OGM for SV detection in uncommon diseaseresearch. Bionano and NVIDIA presenters, together with Drs. Smith and Hoischen, additionally participated in reside Q&A periods with the viewers.

Story continues

Bionano and collaborators outlined advances to Bionano’s digital workflow, which may present SV detection related to scientific and translational analysis in areas together with most cancers and genetic illness with better decision and sensitivity than conventional cytogenetic strategies.

• Bionano introduced product developments that may allow larger throughput, enhance information evaluation and reporting, and enhance DNA isolation and extraction: Presenters described upcoming product enhancements, together with the anticipated launches of the Ionic^® system for OGM functions, the excessive throughput Saphyr^® system, the growth of Bionano’s pattern prep menu, and improved evaluation and reporting software program. The presentation from Bionano and NVIDIA launched Bionano’s new compute answer with elevated information processing capabilities, which was co-developed to help larger throughput OGM devices.

• Bionano’s OGM options and VIA software program can supply scientific and translational researchers genome evaluation with excessive decision and sensitivity, a easy workflow, and improved turnaround instances: On the occasion,Dr. Hoischen described how his analysis reveals that OGM can determine extra hidden or missed SVs related to uncommon ailments than conventional strategies. Dr. Smith famous VIA’s potential to offer evaluation and reporting of SVs in a easy report with improved classification and filtering of SVs when in comparison with different reporting software program.

• Bionano launched a grant alternative designed to additional transformational analysis involving SVs utilizing OGM expertise: Dr. Purim shared particulars of Bionano’s new grant program, which is able to award 5 prizes to researchers throughout quite a lot of analysis areas. Grant functions are actually open and can shut in Might 2023.

“Bionano was happy to sponsor the pre-conference workshop at AGBT, the place we shared product improvement plans, information about our strategic collaboration with NVIDIA and an announcement of our Bionano Innovator Analysis Grant. We have been additionally excited to incorporate Drs. Smith and Hoischen in our program, the place they introduced particulars of the modern analysis and information evaluation they’ve carried out using Bionano expertise. AGBT is the place folks come collectively to speak about important advances in genomic expertise, and we have been thrilled to offer convention attendees with an outline of the enhancements we’re making to OGM choices,” commented Erik Holmlin, PhD, president and chief government officer of Bionano Genomics.
