The OhmX for SV Analysis Grant Program

Electronic genome mapping (EGM), pioneered by Nabsys, refers to the method of using solid-state nanodetectors to survey long DNA molecules for the purpose of constructing high-density maps with long-range genomic information to detect SVs. This high-density information makes it possible to identify both balanced and unbalanced SVs as small as 300 base pairs, in addition to larger chromosomal aberrations and genetic variation missed by next-generation sequencing. EGM involves simple, intuitive workflows eliminating the need for cytogenetics technical expertise, while delivering on the promise of easy-to-use, accurate, low cost, whole-genome SV analysis.

The OhmX platform is Nabsys’ end-to-end, whole-genome mapping solution leveraging state-of-the-art electronic nanochannel detectors to scan labeled high molecular weight DNA and perform de novo genome assembly for SV analysis with Human Chromosome Explorer™ (HCE).
This video explains how the OhmX platform and HCE work together to provide easy, cost-effective, high-resolution structural variation analysis.

Hitachi High-Tech America (HTA), in conjunction with Nabsys, announced a strategic leap forward in genomics research through the RAMP UP program. RAMP UP — Rapid Application to Market Penetration User Partnerships — aims to propel cutting-edge EGM technology into the hands of researchers for unparalleled, whole-genome SV analysis. HTA initiated the inaugural OhmX for SV Analysis RAMP UP Grant program to accelerate application development and access to the novel platform.
