Haystack Analytics has tried to narrow down the widening gap that exists between the vast amounts of genomic data that can be generated today using next-generation sequencing and the limited analytical outcomes of this data. With a focus on infectious disease, they have created a platform to provide clinically relevant interpretations of genomic data to enable better decision-making in healthcare. By applying current industry standard Big Data analytics solutions to biological data, their products are able to re-imagine data-mining, representation and visualization for genomics. Also, to make genomics data consumable for all general healthcare systems, they have managed to bring the solution directly to the users with their unique computing hardware, co-developed with Intel.
The initiative has been supported under ‘Centre for Augmenting WAR with COVID-19 Health Crisis (CAWACH)’ programme by NSTEDB, DST.
