Complete Genomics Partners

Complete Genomics collaborates with a variety of organizations that have solutions that complement Complete Genomics’ Sequencing Service. These collaborations can help accelerate the genetic research of our customers. These partners bookend the Complete Genomics Sequencing Service, assisting with sample preparation prior to delivery of samples to Complete Genomics, and providing downstream analysis tools for filtering and visualization of data, as an example. Complete Genomics will continue to expand its partners to ensure we are providing our customers the most comprehensive and valuable service in the market.

Sample Preparation Partners

DNA Genotek’s Oragene family of products enables easy and non-invasive self-collection of saliva samples while delivering high-quality DNA. With the launch of the Oragene/saliva collection kits, DNA Genotek revolutionized the DNA sample collection market with a product that allows people to spit a small amount of saliva into a plastic tube to provide a high quality DNA sample that remains stable at ambient temperature for years. Complete Genomics accepts DNA samples derived from human saliva collected with Oragene. Complete Genomics’ customers can order saliva collection and preparation kits from DNA Genotek (www.dnagenotek.com) and use this validated method for whole genome sequencing.

Genomic Discovery Software Partners

Complete Genomics has created the Genomic Discovery Software Partner Program to provide our customers with additional downstream analysis tools for variant filtering, visualization, pathway analysis and other biological interpretation functions. This program both extends the existing bioinformatics capabilities that many of our customers have and provides an easy path for those customers that do not have extensive technical resources to analyze their data.

Ingenuity Variant Analysis™ is a new software product focused on enabling rapid filtering and annotation of variants from human re-sequencing studies. It helps researchers prioritize among millions of variants and identify those that are most likely to be biologically significant. This tool leverages Ingenuity’s Knowledge Base, a database of more than four million findings gleaned from peer-reviewed journals and literature and other public genomic data sources, to more easily make connections between genomic variants and biological pathways. It can identify causal variants for a rare disease, driver variants for a particular cancer, or variants associated with response or non-response to a therapeutic or rare adverse event.

Golden Helix’s SNP and Variation Suite (SVS) is a desktop solution that combines powerful variant classification, bioinformatic filtering, functional annotation, visualization, and statistical analysis capabilities into one flexible product. By allowing customers to take control of individual steps within the analysis process, SVS empowers them to quickly uncover statistically significant genotype/phenotype associations or causal variants in large-scale data sets.

DNAnexus, which previously partnered with Complete Genomics, is joining the program to provide an instant genomics data and analysis center with its cloud-based solutions for customers’ human genome sequencing data. DNAnexus offers feature-rich data visualization and interpretation tools to view and filter variant, CNV, SV, and read data through a user-friendly web service that requires no additional software or hardware investment. The secure and scalable platform provides a collaborative environment between researchers across different institutions.
