  • Ambry Genetics and SoftGenetics Form Exclusive Alliance for Extended Bioinformatics S

    Aliso Viejo, CA and State College, PA– December 3, 2009: Ambry
    Genetics and SoftGenetics today announced the signing of an agreement to
    provide extended bioinformatics genomics services using SoftGenetics’
    NextGENe software for next-generation sequencing projects performed at
    Ambry.

    Anja Kammesheidt PhD, Ambry’s CSO said, “Our team at Ambry has been
    providing genomics solutions on Illumina’s® Genome Analyzer platform
    for 2 years now. In light of diversifying applications, increasing project
    sizes, and new genomes to be explored, having a proven and innovative
    partner for bioinformatics is key. While some of our clients are interested in
    performing their own analyses, others are asking for extended support. We
    have been impressed with SoftGenetics’ software tools, as well as their
    approach to take care of the clients’ needs which is very much in line with
    Ambry’s philosophy. We are looking forward to working together to provide
    tailored services to our clients.”

    Jonathan Liu PhD, SoftGenetics VP Research and Development echoed Dr.
    Kammesheidt’s thoughts and added that “the SoftGenetics/Ambry
    partnership provides a new strategic alliance that will not only provide a
    single streamlined source for next-generation sequencing researchers but
    will also provide SoftGenetics with a deepened vision of future researcher
    requirements, allowing NextGENe to remain at the forefront of nextgeneration
    sequencing software.”

    “This highly unique alliance” , continued John Fosnacht, SoftGenetics VP
    Sales and Marketing, “provides researchers wishing to utilize the power of
    next-generation sequencing a distinctive value proposition by combining the
    technical quality of Ambry Genetics sequencing with the unique analysis
    capabilities of NextGENe without the heavy investment typically required in
    next-generation sequencing instrumentation and bioinformatics. We all
    believe this is a true win-win situation for everyone.”

    “Next-generation sequencing services are more valuable to any scientific
    researcher if you can offer a full menu for bioinformatics support” said Ardy
    Arianpour, Director of Business Development, Genomic Services at Ambry
    Genetics. “Ambry Genetics has now become the genomics community’s
    one-stop service shop for next-generation sequencing services. We can
    handle large projects and we can offer the most robust data analysis through
    the exclusive alliance with SoftGenetics.”
    Ambry Genetics has been providing next generation sequencing services to
    pharmaceutical, biotech and academic clients for a wide range of
    applications including targeted resequencing through custom or exome
    sequence capture, transcriptome, ChIP and de novo sequencing. Ambry
    Genetics is focused on delivering the highest quality results with the most
    sensible workflows while maintaining cost effective contracts for the
    genomics community.

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
