GeneWorks to expand into South-East Asia


Adelaide -based reagent and service company GeneWorks is partnering Malaysian bioinformatics company Synamatix to initiate sequencing of microbial organisms.

“The deal will allow the two companies to cross-refer clients, with GeneWorks supplying gene-sequencing services and Synamatix providing comprehensive analytical services for the data generated, ” said Peter Guilhaus, CEO, GeneWorks.
He also said that this partnership would make gene-sequencing data available to smaller Australian companies that have previously lacked the capacity to effectively analyse the data in-house.
The partnership comes after GeneWorks doubled its sequencing capacity this month, with the purchase of a second Illumina Genome Analyzer.
