One Codex Wants To Be The Google For Genomic Data

>From TechCrunch on Aug 15, 2014

Apart from using search technology, the platform also acts as an indexed,
curated reference.

One Codex, which is currently in open beta, can search its growing database
of 30,000 bacteria, viruses and fungi in real time and identify data sets in
minutes (millions of DNA base pairs per second).

Greenfield says One Codex wants to bring this technology to the clinical
infectious disease market.

"Instead of using a specific test for tuberculosis, the doctor would take a
sample, sequence that sample and transform that biology into data, and then
exhaustively search that data against all the pathogens and they'll be able
to tell you if you have TB, the type of TB and maybe this TB has antibiotic
resistance," he said.
