Edico Genome
Based in San Diego and founded in 2013, Edico Genome Inc. develops cutting edge solutions that power the genomic revolution. Our vision is to revolutionize genome sequencing analysis by providing unprecedented speed, scale and accuracy. The “Big Data” Problem: As DNA sequencing costs have plummeted over the last few years, furthered by Illumina’s recent announcement of the ability to sequence genomes for below $1,000, raw data generated by sequencing has increased exponentially, measuring petabytes of data, making analyses and transfer of all this data difficult. These large amounts of data produce a critical bottleneck in the DNA sequencing workflow that has previously only been addressable by throwing increasing numbers of ever more powerful CPU cores at the problem. However, since the data being produced by sequencing already far outpaces Moore’s Law, this solution has very limited sustainability.
