2. The insights we’re gaining from sequencing and
analysis techniques are delivering new advances
in healthcare with ever greater speed and
precision.
It’s a particularly exciting time to be a part of
this evolving industry, with continual
opportunities for new clinical applications of
these technologies and platforms.

3. Global Collaborations Underway
• Companies like Illumina and others who are delivering
next-generation sequencing technologies are gaining
global exposure
• New partnerships and programs are placing these
advanced techniques into the hands of the world’s
leading clinicians and researchers, who are then applying
them to some of today’s greatest medical challenges
• Recently, plans to integrate sequencing technologies
have been announced by world renowned organizations:
– Baylor College of Medicine in the U.S.
– Genomics England
– Sidra Medical and Research Center in Qatar

4. Managing the Wealth of Data
The challenge for these and other programs
seeking to accelerate their research discoveries
with genomic data is how to analyze this wealth
of information …
… to make it clinically relevant and rapidly
deliver reliable insights to better inform patient
care.

5. Solutions in Advanced Analytics
• We are working to advance this piece of the puzzle
with our Genomically Ordered Relational (GOR)
database [see previous blog post] and our clinical
and discovery interfaces (the Clinical Sequence
Analyzer ™ and Sequence Miner™).

6. Combining next-generation sequencing
techniques with increasingly robust analysis
tools, we are helping to accelerate global
research progress today to deliver
unprecedented advances in patient care in
the years just ahead.
