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.
