The process of genome assembly requires a lot of compute resources. Some genomes are tens of gigabases long and assembly jobs need to be run for weeks on large compute clusters. In collaboration with Leiden University we developed a tool that scales linearly with the genome size. This enables the assembly of very large genomes on relatively small computer systems.
Start with TULIPContact usWith our extensive knowledge we can offer solutions that cover the whole process of going from a biological sample to a complete genome sequence and annotation. With our in house developed tools we can do that for even the largest genomes.
If a product or process is threatened by a bacterial contamination, speedy identification of the contaminant has the highest priority. We developed a pipeline for ultrafast (6 hrs!) and accurate (>99.5% accuracy) identification of complete bacterial genome sequences.
Regulatory agencies increasingly demand detailed characterization of transgenic cell lines or organisms that produce biological products. We will de novo assemble and correct the genome sequence of the cell line to meet that demand.
Future Genomics Technologies, founded in 2017, is a collaboration between biotech company BaseClear and Leiden University. We work closely together with Oxford Nanopore Technologies and use their revolutionary nanopore sequencing platforms to develop new genomics applications. We are one of the world’s first Oxford Nanopore Technologies certified sequencing providers. Our customers include biotechnological and (bio)pharmaceutical companies, academic and research institutes, as well as agro- and food industries.
Future Genomics Technologies uses the latest Next Generation sequencing technologies, including those of Oxford Nanopore Technologies and Illumina. Next generation sequencing has completely revolutionized the way in which complex genetic information is being unraveled.
