Protein analyzing biotechnology firm Somalogic Inc. (Nasdaq: SLGC) has inked a partnership deal with genomics company Illumina Inc. (Nasdaq: ILMN) to develop and bring to market a co-branded next-generation sequencing (NGS) platform to be used to better understand the human body.
Somalogic develops platforms to read thousands of proteins in a patient’s blood or urine sample that may signal illnesses or future health conditions and suggest potential treatments via machine learning.
“As part of the agreement, Illumina will develop and deploy NGS-based protein identification and measurement tools into laboratories worldwide, and facilitate the development and use of high-plex protein pattern recognition tests,” according to a company news release.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“Proteins play a central role in cellular function and health, and NGS can support a greater understanding of this role by unlocking biological insights at scale,” Illumina chief technology officer Alex Aravanis said in a statement. “We are committed to increasing the utility of NGS, and our partnership with SomaLogic will enable existing and future NGS customers to conduct even more sophisticated, high throughput multiomic studies.”
