DNAnexus, Inc., the provider of the Precision Health Data Cloud, and TMA Precision Health, a global health platform for rare diseases, today announced a collaboration to advance basic and translational research for patients who have a rare disease. As part of the agreement, qualified researchers will be able to use the DNAnexus Precision Health Data Cloud and analysis tools to access and explore TMA’s high-quality whole genome sequencing data and associated longitudinal medical records. The collaboration will help scientists gain important translational research insights that can improve diagnostic test selection and treatment options for patients with rare disorders.

Recent advances in whole genome sequencing have been instrumental in capturing the large amounts of data required for discovering the unknown etiological variants that cause many rare disorders. TMA’s platform deploys whole genome sequencing and disease reporting of patients across diverse geographies, connecting their consented and de-identified data to power research at scale and expand cohorts for clinical trials. The DNAnexus Precision Health Data Cloud provides scientists with the required security, compliance, and scalability to manage, analyze, and collaborate on complex multimodal data.

“This collaboration with DNAnexus provides our customers with a trusted research environment to harness the power of our multimodal real-world data,” said Joshua Resnikoff, cofounder and CEO at TMA Precision Health. “Together, we can make a significant impact and drive a new wave of precision diagnostics and treatments for underserved rare genetic diseases.”

Today, DNAnexus has more than 40,000 registered users across 48 countries and actively manages and supports more than 80 petabytes of complex clinical genomic, proteomic, and other multi-omic datasets on behalf of a growing network of collaborators. Its comprehensive cloud platform meets the most rigorous industry standards for data quality, security, privacy, and regulatory compliance.

“TMA is focused on making clinical care more accessible and equitable for patients who have a rare disease,” said Thomas Laur, CEO at DNAnexus. “The combination of TMA’s whole genome sequencing datasets and medical data with our Precision Health Data Cloud will empower researchers to generate translational insights that can be used to treat patients today and advance the cures of tomorrow.”
