How we think about AI strategy and products, while attempting to separate utility from hype.

Sequencing projects come in many different forms. At Gencove, we’ve seen and supported a broad range of species and sample types. Occasionally, we receive projects that our partner service labs can't support using standard procedures, necessitating bespoke and innovative solutions.

Effectively we are rapidly approaching a world where sequencing costs per se are irrelevant to companies looking to implement genetic testing at massive scale. The scientific implications of this are fun to consider, but it’s also worth thinking about the overall business implications.

As we close the book on 2023, the Gencove team was busier than ever in the pursuit our mission: a healthier and more sustainable civilization through the application of ubiquitous sequencing. Our work with our partners spanned species and populations, today we look back on a few key highlights.

Low-pass whole genome sequencing is an approach that strikes a balance between the cost-efficiency of microarrays and the broad genomics insights provided by high coverage WGS

Samples already on the Gencove platform can now be easily reprocessed using a different project configuration.

To help move towards Gencove’s vision of ubiquitous sequencing, we’re happy to announce support for our deep whole genome sequencing (WGS) pipeline!

To offer another option for scientists and companies seeking whole genome sequencing and analysis, Gencove evaluated the ability to process low-pass sequencing data derived from the AVITI™ System in two studies.

Whether it is genotyping a whole herd or building support for new species and breeds, at Gencove, we’re continually looking for ways to empower companies and scientists to discover more using sequencing. That’s why we’re excited to share the latest milestone in this pursuit with the launch of InfiniSEEK™– available now through NEOGEN.

The vision of Gencove is that the universal application of genomics will result in a healthier and more sustainable civilization.

At Gencove, we are committed to making genome sequencing more accessible. To that end, we are pleased to announce the ability to use Amazon S3 directly as an import origin in addition to supporting uploads through our CLI, our API, or from BaseSpace. The new feature saves time because samples can now be imported directly from an S3 bucket without the need to download and then upload again. In this post, we show how to import samples from a S3 URI to a project.
