Saphetor, Genomenon Agree to Share Genomic Variant Data

Feb 06, 2018

|

CHICAGO (GenomeWeb) – Swiss precision medicine analysis company Saphetor and US-based genomic literature search engine Genomenon have announced a deal to share genomic variant information between their data platforms.

The companies said today that results from the Genomenon Mastermind genomic search engine now include links to Saphetor's VarSome genomic annotation tool. In turn, VarSome, which contains curated data from more than 30 publicly available genomic databases, has Mastermind links to scientific literature related to each variant and gene.
