Emedgene collaborates with Illumina to scale the interpretation of genomic data for rare diseases USA - English News provided by Share this article Share this article PALO ALTO, California, Dec. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Emedgene, a leading precision medicine intelligence company, announces a non-exclusive partnership with Illumina Inc. and the integration of automated interpretation into Illumina's TruSight™ Software Suite for rare genetic diseases. Emedgene's Clinical Rare Disease application is one of a portfolio of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered applications for high-throughput genomic interpretation across clinical and research use cases. Healthcare is in the midst of a leap towards precision medicine. Continued improvements in the cost of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, such as those developed by Illumina, have dramatically accelerated the adoption of genetic testing. Consequently, data generated from genomics doubles every year and is expected to reach 20 exabytes by 2025. The genomic interpretation market transforms data into meaningful insights that improve patient care and impact the many different medical disciplines that incorporate genomics into routine care.
