Inqaba Biotechnical Industries partners with Advaita Bioinformatics to provide advanced pathway analysis software in Sub-Saharan Africa
ANN ARBOR, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Advaita Bioinformatics, the leader in the interpretation of high-throughput biomedical data, today announced a new distribution partnership with Inqaba Biotechnical Industries. inqaba biotec™ chose Advaita’s iPathwayGuide and iVariantGuide to better serve their customers as well as for their in-house needs.
“This much-welcomed partnership will serve our growing customer base with their ever-increasing need for superior data analysis. This is what our customers demand,” said Bioinformatics Solutions Manager at inqaba biotec™, Dr. Hamilton Ganesan. He went on to say, “Advaita’s platform has everything our customers need to efficiently and rapidly extract profound insights from their data and at a fraction of the cost relative to competitor products, which is a great bonus. We are thrilled to have found such advanced pathway and variant analysis software of this caliber that’s so affordable, hence more accessible to our science community.”
Advaita’s platform helps principal investigators, core facilities, and bioinformatics teams analyze very large RNA-Seq or protein datasets and DNA-Seq variant data to find biomarkers, identify impacted pathways, and pinpoint putative mechanisms. Historically this process was slow, unreliable, expensive, and often required multiple disjointed tools leading to irrelevant or incorrect results. Advaita’s proprietary algorithms modernize this process with solutions designed to provide superior results at a lower price, simplify collaboration across labs, and generate beautiful publication-ready graphics.
Said Advaita CEO Sorin Draghici: “We are proud to partner with an innovative, industry-leading organization like Inqaba in order to expand our offering to yet another continent. This is another example of an international distributor recognizing the value we can provide to their customers, as well as to their bottom line.”
