Leymus Genomics partners with NVIDIA with focus on AI & WGS data analysis
Bioinformatics for whole genome sequencing data.
Leymus Genomics is excited to start collaborating with NVDIA. Our focus is on whole-genome sequencing data and associated health data.
You might be familiar with NVIDIA’s GEFORCE graphic cards for computer games – NVIDIA is developing GPUs for most of the computers and scientists in the world working with AI and parallel computing.
Sequencing analyses of whole human genes benefit by using NVIDIA CUDA-enabled GPUs. There is now progress on using GPUs for a range of bioinformatics and life sciences codes.
Leymus Genomics supports and collaborates with Parabricks WGS secondary analysis program for the GATK pipeline running on CUDA cores from NVIDIA. With Parabricks you can expect to speed up your analysis time with 30-50x*. We would like to talk to you if you are about to analyze >100 human genomes and you can see speed and data infrastructure as potential issues.
* This depends on the data infrastructure and number of CPUs at the genomic site.
Leymus Genomics onboards new data scientists
Leymus Genomics onboards new data scientists
Leymus Genomics is very happy to welcome our two new data scientists and partners, Niels Buus Lassen and René Madsen, to our team. This will further our goals of providing world leading data solutions for medium to very large scale genomic labs. Niels and René bring a combined 30 years of working with complex statistical modeling, machine learning, AI, deep learning and developing enterprise software to the company. The addition to the team will open up opportunities for Leymus Genomics to work with data intensive challenges in the genomics field. We are interested in further partnerships in the development of better models for analysing large data sets of genomic data. Leymus Genomics can today provide the full workflow from on-site data storage (DDN), GPUs to accelerate your analysis (official announcement on Monday Oct 8th), WGS secondary analysis on GPUs (Parabricks), and AI consulting and development.
New Partnership with Parabricks
New Partnership with Parabricks
High Performance Secondary Analysis of Genomic Data
Leymus Genomics are happy to announce our partnership with Parabricks, the first to bring secondary analysis with GATK to GPUs in the cloud or local with NVIDIA.
Parabricks provides 30-50 times faster secondary analysis of FASTQ files coming out of sequencers to VCF files that have the variants for tertiary analysis. Parabricks accelerates existing GATK best practices to generate equivalent results as the baseline CPU-only solution.
- Turnkey Solution: Parabricks software runs on standard CPU and GPU nodes available on the cloud and requires no additional setup steps by the user.
- On-Premise and Cloud Agnostic: The Parabricks software can run on local servers like DGX-1 servers or public cloud such as AWS, Google Cloud Services and Microsoft Azure.
- 100% Deterministic and Reproducible: Any configuration of Parabricks software on any platform with any number of resources, generates the exact same results every execution.
- Equivalent results: Parabricks’ pipeline generates equivalent results as baseline GATK 4 best practices pipeline as the same algorithm is used.

Leymus Genomics went live at ESHG 2017
Thank you for all the interesting discussions at ESHG. Pictures from Leymus at ESHG, International High Performance Computing in Frankfurt, and DSKB 2017 (Danish Society for Clinical Biochemistry). We learned that several of our solutions around the NGS workflow – e.g. DDN Data storage and BioDynami NGS library prep – are faster and more simple than existing solutions. We look forward to seeing you in your lab.
New Partnership with GenomeScan
Leymus Genomics is the exclusive supplier of GenomeScan services to Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland.
GenomeScan was one of the first service labs in Europe and is a leader in DNA analysis from Sample to Bioinformatics:
