The technology developed by GenoMSys allows for efficient processing and sharing of DNA data. The software startup announced a collaboration with SysMeta IT, the laboratory software developer, to implement GenomSys' MPEG-G tools at clinics and labs in Switzerland.

GenomSys combines deep expertise in data compression and computing with life sciences and bioinformatics capabilities. It provides a Software Suite for the secure storing and transfer of genomic data, allowing research institutions and clinics to gain efficiencies in their processing of genomic data enabling large-scale genomics and personalized medicine applications. GenomSys is also an early adopter of the new ISO standard for genomic data representation and processing - MPEG-G.

Following the recent announcement of its Series A financing round, the startup has reached another milestone; a partnership with SysMeta IT, a digital services company catering to medical clinics and labs in Switzerland and editor of Tangerine Medical and Tangerine Diagnostics software packages.

As part of their partnership agreement, SysMeta IT will integrate GenomSys' MPEG-G tools into its Tangerine Medical software for viewing and annotation of patient records and for electronic ordering of sample analysis. This integration improves the ability of the medical practitioner to evaluate and rank treatment options for cancer patients.

"Leveraging genetic sequencing data and advanced analytics will enable medical professionals to save time and offer better treatment options to patients. The integration of genome-viewing capabilities into the medical software tools used by doctors has been hampered by the absence of efficient, streamlined data handling technologies adapted to genomic data and to clinical use. With the recent introduction of ISO 23092, new end-to-end genomic data processing tools will emerge, with plug & play ease of use. GenomSys is proud to be at the forefront of this evolution towards personalized medicine, enabled by interoperability and advanced data processing", says GenomSys CEO Stéphane Doutriaux. Stéphane was previously the founder and CEO of Poken (acquired by GES) in 2017.

“Adding genome viewing and medical record annotation capabilities will benefit medical professionals by offering them a fully-integrated view of the patient record including instant access to stored genomic data and related analysis results", comments Laurent Missimi, CEO of SysMeta IT.
