DNAnexus at ASHG: Accelerating Your Path from Genomic Data to Insight

We are looking forward to attending the annual American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) meeting next week in Orlando.  

We’re excited to share updates on recent projects, including our new data analysis and management solution for NovaSeq™ instruments, our collaborative microbiome informatics platform, and the latest software tools available on DNAnexus from our partners at PacBio.

If you’re headed to ASHG, stop by DNAnexus booth 811 to learn about the broad research and clinical applications of the DNAnexus Platform. Can’t make it to any of our events? Stop by booth 811 anytime during the conference, or email us to schedule a meeting with a member of our team.
