MedGenome South Asian Research Genotyping Array (SARGAM)

MedGenome has introduced the South Asian Research Genotyping Array, which leverages MedGenome's proprietary database of 2.5 million variants unique to the South Asian population and not available in any publicly available genetic database. MedGenome will use sequence data generated in its facility in Bengaluru, India to continue to identify unique content for SARGAM, which is based on Thermo Fisher Scientific's Applied Biosystems Axiom genotyping arrays. MedGenome said that SARGAM is intended to enable discovery research involving South Asian population cohorts, and will be ideal for consumer genomics solutions like ancestry and pharmacogenomics for the South Asian population.
