How OmicSoft Is Facilitating In-Depth Exploration Among NGS Datasets Data in Biotech
-
- Life Sciences
This week's guest is Joseph Pearson, Global Product Manager of OmicSoft at QIAGEN, a global provider of sample-to-insight solutions that enable customers to gain valuable molecular insights.
During this episode, we dive into OmicSoft, a powerful NGS analysis suite that can quickly explore and compare 500,000 curated omics samples from disease-related studies. Joseph outlines the challenges of acquiring and analysing NGS data sets, how customers can interact with OmicSoft data, and what he thinks of the build versus buy debate when selecting new bioinformatics tools.
Data in Biotech is a fortnightly podcast exploring how companies leverage data innovation in life sciences.
