What we offer
We provide standardized validated bioinformatics pipelines for whole genome, whole exome, panels analysis, RNAseq and NIPT.
Depending on your needs we can provide the raw data (fastq), alignment file (bam), called variant/indels files (vcf) and variant annotation (Alamut Batch).
We can also perform custom bioinformatics data analysis on demand.
Data security is our top priority. The bioinformatics analysis are processed on our in-house infrastructure (computer grid and storage) in a secure IT facility with disk mirroring, and backup.
Data transfer can be done via internet download (eg. Belnet FileSender), SFTP or through external disk drives.
