Oct. 21, 2018 -- Phase Genomics, the leader in Hi-C proximity-ligation based genomic solutions, and Genosys, the leader in genomic software technology announced today signing of a distribution partnership agreement. Phase Genomics sells Hi-C kits paired with proprietary analysis software that allows researchers studying humans, plants, animals, and microbes a time-saving and inexpensive genomic discovery platform. The Hi-C kit, contrary to traditional methods, provides an easy-to-use protocol that lets scientists generate a sequencer-ready Hi-C library from almost any sample in as little as eight hours. Phase Genomics applies Hi-C and other proprietary proximity-ligation methods to enable chromosome-scale genome assembly, metagenome deconvolution, as well as analysis of structural genomic variation and genome architecture. The United States based company offers a comprehensive portfolio of laboratory and computational services and products, which are now available through the new Asia Pacific partnerships. Products include ProxiMeta Hi-C metagenome assembly kits and Proximo Hi-C genome assembly kits as well as industry-leading analysis services.
On June 8, 2016 at the PAG-Asia conference in Singapore, Ms. Flora Liew, President of Genosys Inc. and Mr. Niu Yongchao, Director of Animal and Plant Research Department, met with Dr. Gil Ronen, Chief Executive Officer of NRGene, and Mr. Eli Ben-Porat, Business Development Director. Both parties had a fruitful discussion and finally agreed on signing the Distributorship Agreement. By leveraging their strengths and expertise in genomics technology, both companies can deliver the best genomic assembly and bioinformatics analysis services to researchers in various fields of genomics.
