About Genohub
Genohub is the easiest and most reliable way to find and order next-gen sequencing services. We connect service providers with researchers and clinicians interested in sequencing, library preparation and bioinformatics services. Genohub takes service information from providers and project specifications from researchers and creates optimal sequencing packages while facilitating the entire order process, from shopping to data delivery.
Our scientists and engineers at Genohub are passionate about high throughput sequencing. We created Genohub after experiencing firsthand the challenges and limitations in ordering sequencing services.
Genohub provides value to next generation sequencing providers and researchers alike by
simplifying
the procurement and management of sequencing projects. Genohub is disruptive to the
sequencing market by offering unique features leading to time and cost savings which are not
offered
elsewhere in the market:
For providers
Service providers can list regular services and one-time offers with flexible pricing and turnaround times to get runs moving faster. By creating a marketplace that maximizes instrument utilization, providers are able to offer more competitive services, accelerating genomic research and discovery as a whole.
Providers only list services once and Genohub’s automated matching and pricing engine takes
care of
the rest.
Service providers would normally have to manually create a proposal or bid every time a
researcher
makes an inquiry. This results in countless hours spent creating bids for clients with a low
probability of achieving a return on the time invested. With Genohub, a service provider
automatically
competes for every project with absolutely no effort involved. Once a researcher selects a
provider
for
a project, the provider would receive an email notification, and the provider can then
choose to
accept
the project.
For researchers
Genohub
enables researchers to search for providers based on a variety of metrics on the shop by
project and
shop by technology pages. Providers which offer services that meet the minimum search
criteria are
instantly displayed and can be sorted by price, turnaround time, output size, and number of
reads.
The
researcher can then select a provider and instantly begin work on the project, saving
valuable time
and
cost.
Genohub's Public Impact
High-throughput sequencing has revolutionized genomic analysis by delivering accurate, fast
and inexpensive volumes of sequence data. This has led to an ever
increasing
demand as sequencing is no longer about just determining the order of DNA bases, but is now
being used for determining gene variation, large scale comparative and evolutionary studies
and understanding how differences in base composition affect human health and disease.
Genohub is accelerating this research by providing a platform that allows sequencing
providers and researchers to interact more efficiently.
