NEWYORK (GenomeWeb)- N-of-One said this week that it has been tapped to provide database services for the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center's Cancer Institute.

Chris Cournoyer, CEO of N-of-One, explained in a statemet that the company will provide a databse of genetic information to physicians and scientists at Cedars-Sinai that will "support their ability to provide clinical pathological integration to deliver cutting-edge diagnostic and treatment options to their patients." N-of-One has interpreted data from more than 7,000 tumors

Financial and other terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
