5AM Solutions will develop software that will allow Asterand to electronically link multiple biorepositories and identify, annotate, and distribute biospecimen data internally and with collaborators.
The plugin, dubbed SNPTips, allows users to compare their 23andMe raw genetic information with SNP data from publicly available resources, such as databases and journal articles.
TGen and 5AM are partnering on bioinformatics under a grant from the National Cancer Institute, which makes TGen an In Silico Research Center of Excellence.
