Our take
Commercial DNA sequencing and advances in biometrics have led to an explosion in biological data, which is likely to prove critical in tackling the major problems facing the life sciences. The problem is, the data is so vast in quantity and diverse in type that analysing it and managing it can prove prohibitively expensive. This is where data orchestration and workflow platform Seqera Labs comes into its own.
Seqera is focused predominantly on facilitating big data analysis and management in the life sciences, and it has gotten impressive traction. Its Nextflow product, a distributed data analysis solution, has been used by over 10,000 organizations. This has included teams working on COVID sequencing, and on cancers.
What's so valuable about its offering is that it can be used by people who understand the data without the need for external teams, which has led to it becoming an industry standard. Seqera has been funded generously, and acquired AI bioinformatics company TinyBio, empowering it to play a pivotal role in key life-sciences developments going forward.
