TAIPEI, TAIWAN, Sep. 30, 2019 – WASAI Technology participated in “Smart Medical Forum” held yearly by DIGITIMES on September 20, 2019. Jeffrey Yu, a Senior Bioinformatics Development and Application Specialist, talked about the challenges of genome sequencing and how the All-In-One DNA Sequence Accelerated Platform developed by WASAI Technology helps to solve the problem in front of 250 participants.
In this forum, Jeffrey, starting from the idea of “establishing a healthy ecosystem of smart medical information,” pointed out that precision medicine needs a huge amount of precise medical data. He mentioned that based on the current stage of next-generation sequencing framework, there are the increasing amount of genome databases and the trend of building the bio-banks in many countries. Next, he talked about WASAI Technology developing this All-In-One DNA Sequence Accelerated solution, which optimizes BWA-MEM and GATK algorithms, effectively shortening the processing time from 34 hours to within 8 hours. This helps to elevate the effectiveness of genome analysis and at the same time keeps the accuracy and consistency.
WASAI Technology actively reaches out to advance the service of genome sequencing in the field of precision medicine. Currently, we ally with the server brands in Taiwan to put this All-In-One DNA Sequence Accelerated Solution in the market. Hope to assist more medical research centers and research institutes to save more time on researches and disease prevention. We expect to insert more energy in the global medical field and speed up the upcoming era of smart health industry in Taiwan.
