Edico Genome
Edico Genome is a company based in San Diego, California that sells a product for processing DNA sequencing data.
History[edit]
The company was founded in 2013 by Pieter van Rooyen, Robert McMillen, and Michael Ruehle, using office space at a company called EvoNexus in San Diego.[1]
Edico Genome announced $10 million in venture capital financing in July 2014, which was led by Qualcomm Ventures and included Axon Ventures and Gregory T. Lucier, the former chairman and CEO of Life Technologies.[2][3][4][5]
The processor is claimed to reduce the time needed to analyze a whole human genome, from 24 hours to 18 minutes.[6]
DRAGEN was announced in October 2014.[7] Edico Genome made its first sale[8] of DRAGEN[9] in September 2014 to Sequenom, a San Diego company focused on non-invasive prenatal testing.
