Geneus™ Development Plans Include Support for Illumina’s SNP Genotyping Workflows

31 Jan 2007

Product news

GenoLogics, a leading developer of lab and data management software solutions for life sciences research, today announced that the Company intends to work with Illumina to build integrations in Geneus that support Illumina’s technology platforms.

Geneus, a new solution for the genomics market, will support workflows that utilize Illumina’s platforms, as well as other leading technology platforms, for both gene expression and genotyping applications.
Geneus, an enterprise solution for lab and data management, includes science-specific modules that are purposed for multiple platforms within genomics application areas. It also includes integrations to various genomics instruments and software. An early access version of Geneus is available today, enabling genomics labs to manage a variety of genotyping and gene expression workflows.

Geneus is built on an open, configurable, adaptable platform to accommodate evolving technologies and changes in lab operations, yet it is customizable in order to accommodate specific workflows within individual labs. It provides IT managers with a single open, flexible configurable platform to support across multiple labs, sciences and facilities.

Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.Data AnalysisData analysis hardware and software is available to make data processing straight-forward yet powerful. Data software can be used for math and stats, technical graphing and image analysis. In addition, software is available for specific data analysis of electrophoresis, densitometry, ELISA and DNA sequencing.LIMSLIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) is an informatics software system used to improve the quality assurance and quality control (QA / QC) of data management. LIMS can be a standard for common lab workflows, such as commercial off the shelf systems (COTS), or customized for more specialized lab use. Systems are available for mainframe computers or PC.Integration ServicesIncorporate lab systems, software and equipment with integration services.SNPs TechnologySingle nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are individual base variations in a DNA sequence. SNPs are used in research to study predispositions to disease and drug discovery. Products for studying single nucleotide polymorphisms include SNP arrays and detection systems to detect polymorphisms, SNP typing systems for genotyping DNA, and PCR to amplify specific SNPs.
