NEW YORK — Basepair on Tuesday said it has signed an agreement to incorporate Novocraft Technologies' genomic analysis tools into its cloud-based bioinformatics platform.
According to Basepair, Novocraft customers will be able to access that company's genomic analysis pipelines through the online platform on a pay-per-use basis. Previously, these pipelines were only available via local download.
Financial and other terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"By integrating our advanced alignment and variant-calling pipelines into Basepair's platform, we are ensuring that researchers, regardless of their computational resources, have access to the most reliable genomic analysis solutions," Colin Hercus, CEO of Malaysia-based Novocraft, said in a statement.
Earlier this year, Basepair struck deals to offer its bioinformatics platform in Southeast Asia in partnership with Sciencewerke and its sequencing data-analysis and -visualization platform in Australia and New Zealand with TrendBio.
