Swedish government gives its backing to Qlucore as bioinformatics Company receives R&D funding

VINNOVA Grant will speed the interactivity and visual feedback of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data analysis for scientists

Qlucore, a world leader in the development of bioinformatics software, today announces it will develop an enhanced NGS-enabled release of Qlucore Omics Explorer. A recent grant awarded by VINNOVA, the Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems, now makes it possible for Qlucore to implement its NGS solution. Genome research has advanced significantly in recent years, and the ability to determine the entire DNA of a person for $1,000 will soon be reached. This technological revolution, known as "Next Generation Sequencing" (NGS), will be a paradigm shift for biomedical research, industry and healthcare. This shift will move the bottleneck from data generation to data analysis and interpretation. Qlucore is at the forefront of commercial software development for the analysis of genomic data sets. The firm has an impressive customer base, including several of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies and prestigious international research institutions, in more than 20 countries.
