New Release Geneious Biologics Gives Deeper Insight into Big Data
AUKLAND – December 11, 2017 – Geneious Biologics, an enterprise software as a service (SaaS) solution used by companies
engaged in commercial antibody screening and discovery, today released major new capability that will allow developers
of biological drugs to analyze millions of raw antibody sequences in minutes, accelerating identification of therapeutic
antibody candidates.
Announced today at the Antibody Engineering & Therapeutics Conference in San Diego, CA, the latest Geneious Biologics release will drastically improve analysis of large-scale
next-generation sequencing (NGS) datasets, giving scientists better understanding of the diversity and quality of
antibody libraries and immune repertoires.
“Geneious Biologics now has the power to analyze millions of NGS raw antibody sequences in minutes. The software lets
users preview, annotate and compare NGS sequences with no manual intervention,” said Jannick Bendtsen, Vice President of
Technology Services, Biomatters.
“This is a big milestone for Geneious Biologics and a huge step forward on our development roadmap. High throughput
antibody sequencing technologies are revolutionizing the biologic drug discovery industry. However, dealing with huge
volumes of associated data remains a challenge. Geneious Biologics now offers a real solution,” said Dr Bendtsen.
Geneious Biologics software applies intuitive visualization tools and advanced analytics capabilities to the
identification of trends and relationships in massive NGS datasets, which have previously been difficult and time
consuming to pinpoint.
Isogenica, a synthetic biology company that designs and builds diverse antibody libraries used by companies conducting
antibody screening programs, validates the quality and consistency of its antibody NGS data with Geneious Biologics.
“Isogenica strives to provide licensees with the best possible synthetic antibody libraries – be it our llamdA™ camelid
single domain antibody library or Alexandria™, our fully synthetic conventional human Fab library,” said Dr. Guy
Hermans, CSO Isogenica Ltd, UK.
“Sanger and NGS sequencing play a critical part of the quality control of these Colibra™ built libraries, as well as in
validating the results of selection campaigns. The computational power and intuitive interface of Biomatters’ Geneious
desktop and now Geneious Biologics have significantly simplified our analyses of these vast datasets.”
