PERSONALIZED MEDICINE

Genomic Intelligence, derived from the newest generation of High-Throughput Genotyping microarrays, can be embedded into medical practice to understand the key genetic factors that can cause individuals to have a predisposition to certain diseases.

Analysis of High-Throughput Genotyping Microarrays has been limited by the challenges in processing the vast amounts of data that are produced. InforSense has developed analytic applications that not only process the raw experimental data but also perform:

• Advanced quality control analysis of genotype data to provide confidence in experimental results
• Analysis methods such as Linkage Disequilibrium, Genome wide Association and Copy Number Variation
• Sequence searching to understand the locations of interesting genotypes in the target organism
• Automatic literature searches to collect the most relevant scientific literature to characterise and interpret the results.

Embedding these applications into medical research provides a solid foundation for research into Personalized Medicine, where the level of association between individuals and specific disease factors or treatment outcomes is assessed.
