MGI gears to assist Thailand in building a National Genomic Medicine roadmap - BSA bureau

Global supplier of beingness subject probe consumables, MGI Tech Co. Ltd. (MGI), will beryllium supporting the "Genomics Thailand Initiative" to make a genomic database of Thai individuals. The five-year Genomics Thailand Initiative aims to found broad aesculapian databases successful the portion by cataloging the genomes of 50,000 Thai people. The task is housed astatine the Oriental University wrong the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) in Thailand.

The inaugural volition absorption connected expanding Thailand's competitiveness successful genomic medicine probe and improving the modular of aesculapian absorption and improving the nationalist wellness system. Launched successful 2019, the inaugural volition beryllium a instauration for processing personalized diagnostics, cause selection, and attraction successful the fields of cancer, infectious diseases, uncommon and undiagnosed diseases, non-communicable diseases, and pharmacogenomics diseases.

MGI volition beryllium leveraging 2 DNBSEQ-T7RS sequencing platforms to augment the country's sequencing capacity. In addition, section researchers tin utilise the installation to make caller biological innovations and discoveries into analyzable diseases specified arsenic cancer. Powered by MGI's halfway DNBSEQ^TM technology, DNBSEQ-T7RS is simply a four-chip sequencing level that tin make 6Tb of information per time and implicit up to 60 full quality genomes per day. 

"MGI is thrilled to beryllium contributing to section genomic probe and innovation in Thailand by providing 2 of our innovative and high-efficiency sequencer DNBSEQ-T7RS*," said Dr. Roy Tan, General Manager of MGI Asia Pacific. "Our cutting-edge sequencing products* person made galore breakthroughs successful presumption of sequencing throughput and affordability for researchers. We spot that it volition beryllium afloat and efficaciously utilized to alteration prime genomic wellness services for the betterment of lives in Thailand and the entire Southeast Asia region."
