Japan s Riken Institute to Use HuBit Genomix SNP-Analysis Technology

Sep 06, 2004

NEW YORK, Sept. 6 (GenomeWeb News) - The Riken SNP Research Center in Japanwill use HuBit Genomix' SNP-analysis technology LD Miner, the company said last week.

 

Co-developed with NTT Data, the Japan-based IT company, the LD Miner platform screens SNPs and disease-related genes using linkage disequilibrium information.

 

The SNPResearchCenteris one of the four research centers at the Riken Yokohama Insitute.

 

Additional details of the deal were not disclosed.
