The company has deep computational expertise in algorithms, coupled with extensive product development capabilities and a seasoned commercial team with over 100 years of success in bringing genomics’ innovation to the life sciences industry.
At the heart of our technology architecture is a patented pattern search technology that enables accurate mapping and alignment of NGS data with a unique combination of speed and sensitivity. From there, application specific pipelines deliver results that combine accuracy and speed to provide unparalleled value to researchers and clinicians.
Real Time Genomics is a private company based in Hamilton, New Zealand, with representatives in San Francisco.
Intellectual Property
Real Time Genomics has an extensive portfolio of genomic analysis intellectual property that is one of the widest ranging in the industry. The portfolio covers core mapping and alignment, large and complex pedigree analysis, methods of data analysis for cancer, methods of metagenomic analysis and historical result analysis, incredibly fast, efficient and accurate read mapping and a range of other high value IP targeting specific markets.
As well as commercial licenses, Real Time Genomics supports non-commercial use with full source code availability for much of our core technology at GitHub. Our next-generation research and development engine (code named “zooma”) is available through partnerships or commercial terms.
Commercial licenses, partnerships and joint project investigations are welcomed.
