AVID: A Global Alignment Program

Archana Malhotra — Wed, 24 May 2017 05:19:28 -0500

A new global alignment method called AVID. The method is designed to be fast, memory efficient, and practical for sequence alignments of large genomic regions up to megabases long. We present numerous applications of the method, ranging from the comparison of assemblies to alignment of large syntenic genomic regions and whole genome human/mouse alignments. We have also performed a quantitative comparison of AVID with other popular alignment tools. To this end, we have established a format for the representation of alignments and methods for their comparison. These formats and methods should be useful for future studies. The tools we have developed for the alignment comparisons, as well as the AVID program, are publicly available. See Web Site References section for AVID Web address and Web addresses for other programs discussed in this paper.

Should you get sequenced? Not all bad genes predict disease

Rahul Agarwal — Thu, 29 Aug 2013 15:10:53 -0500

“What we really don’t know yet is whether the predictive aspects of the genome are going to turn out to be beneficial or potentially harmful”

“As we roll out genomic medicine we are fighting against this society-wide misconception that having the bad gene means you’re going to get the disease. That’s only true in a very few cases.”

What is Healthcare Informatics?

Wed, 12 Mar 2014 14:49:54 -0500

Incorporating information technologies and information management, this work describes evolving areas of efficiency in the healthcare industry due to healthcare informatics enhancements. Beginning with an overview of how information management can enhance organizational efficiency the book delves into how informatics can impact productivity for healthcare providers and reduce costs. It stresses the incorporation of available information technologies along with appropriate management tactics to ensure the most effective informatics outcomes that can drive efficiencies. Areas that are addressed include project management in healthcare, knowledge management, decision support systems, business intelligence, Six Sigma, and advanced analytics such as data mining.

WuXi has acquired NextCODE Health

Pranjali Yadav — Mon, 19 Jan 2015 08:17:35 -0600

Shanghai, China-headquartered pharmatech company WuXi (NYSE: WX) has acquired NextCODE Health, a genomic analysis and bioinformatics company based in the USA.

The acquisition was made for $65 million in cash, and WuXi plans to merge its genome center with NextCODE Health to form a new company, WuXi NextCODE Genomics. The business will be headquartered in Shanghai and have operations in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Reykjavik, Iceland.

With the huge unmet medical needs in diseases with a genetic component and the rapid advances in genomics and bioinformatics, now is the right time for WuXi to make a strategic investment in this field, and NextCODE is the right partner. This new venture of WuXi NextCODE Genomics will create important new genomic and bioinformatic products and services to help make personalized treatment and medicine a reality. It will also enable doctors to provide better treatments to patients.
