Genomical takes the data issues out of genomics, so labs can focus on what they do best.

A managed Genomic Information Management System (GIMS) for clinical labs; the data infrastructure genomic tests run on.

The reality of genomic data challenges for labs

For many clinical labs, genomic data issues look like: months or years to get a new bioinformatics pipeline working or to set up a new tertiary tool, the server crashing and cases getting thrown to the back of the queue, data getting stuck coming off the sequencing machine, or pipelines taking days to run because there's not enough compute.

It can also be relentless manual work dragging and dropping files, running scripts to reformat, archive or retrieve them, or days spent pulling together another large validation report.

That's why we built Genomical; a modern solution that reimagines how genomic data can be managed by labs.

A proven enterprise grade GIMS

Genomical is a GIMS; a Genomic Information Management System. Where a LIMS manages laboratory sample information, a GIMS manages the genomic data workflow itself: running bioinformatics pipelines, integrating analysis tools, and moving and storing large genomic data files.

A mature, enterprise-grade, secure, auditable, scalable and supported GIMS is what lets a lab safely reduce turnaround times, increase capacity and bring on new tests faster. It's genomics in a busy pathology lab reimagined and modernised.

Genomical's value to labs

Manual work, automated

End-to-end automation, reliable data transfers and centralised logging replace manual file handling, data entry, script-running, excessive documentation and second-checking steps. Less intervention, fewer errors, faster results. Run more tests with the same team.

Tools ready to use

Genomical is pre-integrated with a range of variant analysis tools that labs already use so you can move faster. Enjoy the freedom to choose — adopt, switch or run several tools — avoid vendor lock-in and choose the most cost-effective tool that's right for a given test.

No 12-month integration projects or custom engineering, and no burden of ongoing maintenance. Genomical implements true enterprise grade system-to-system integration. Anticipate errors, synchronise terminologies, verify before initiating, trigger analyses automatically, track workflows in real-time, and auto-populate patient and clinical information for faster reporting.

Launch new tests sooner with staff that aren't pulled away from clinical work during onboarding.

Production-ready bioinformatics

Even the most complex pipelines run reliably in Genomical. Any batch size, in a couple of hours rather than multiple days. Your pipelines, configurable, continuously maintained and monitored so that they work today and they'll work tomorrow.

Unlimited samples processed in parallel, delivering results quickly. Fewer errors with enterprise grade queuing and error handling to manage runs and recover gracefully from failures. Labs can reduce turn-around-times and avoid rising capital outlays for hardware and costly cloud infrastructure builds.

Specialist capability without the hires

Genomical has deep expertise built into the platform across bioinformatics, cloud computing, genomics and digital health, so you don't need to hire to grow.

Data that can be reanalysed

Unlock new value from re-analysis of genomic data. Harness the untapped potential of operational and workflow data for performance insights and real-time tracking.

Reanalyse for new indications or as new literature emerges, to improve diagnostic yield and test performance over time. Gain insights and monitor operational trends to support workload and workforce management. Data in Genomical is FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) to support ethical research, discovery and partnerships.

More time for the science

Rather than the distraction and ongoing challenges of building in-house solutions to data management problems, Genomical solves these off-the-shelf. This frees up the entire lab to focus on genomics, to innovate more and keep at the forefront of the field.

It's more challenging than you think.

It's complicated to integrate with multiple tools to have a solution that is agnostic and can handle all the patterns in a generic way. You need to do the right steps, for the right data, in the right order, with the right credentials, for the right tools.

Tertiary tools are difficult to truly integrate

Many labs spend the best part of a year setting up a new tertiary tool. However, at the end of it all, often there's still a pile of admin that someone in the lab has to own. Keeping gene lists up to date, chasing down incompatible HPO terms, or other mysterious reasons why it worked yesterday but not today.

Then there's the complexity, uncertainty and downtime when issues arise. A help desk ticket might take days of back and forth before everyone actually understands what the real cause is, let alone a fix.

A proper integration anticipates where things can break, validates before kicking off a job, proactively keeps things in sync and can locate the root cause of issues faster.

Bioinformatics at scale is getting harder

If a lab has their own bioinformaticians, that's amazing because not every lab does. Even if they do, bioinformatics is still a real challenge; and it's not necessarily because of bioinformatics skills. It's more likely because of failing servers, competition for compute, or having to wrangle scripts that someone else wrote.

Bioinformaticians are spending more time on infrastructure and compliance than on the bioinformatics they were hired to do. And it's only getting harder.

Pipelines are now being developed by global teams of specialists and are so advanced, complex, and computationally intensive, that it can take months for a lab to get them working, let alone be operationally stable and accreditation ready.

A single genomics test can generate as much data as binge-watching Netflix movies for an entire month.
