Axiom Human Genotyping Arrays Now Integrated with Allelica Polygenic Risk Score Software and Reports

Published

on

Customers can now use the end-to-end solution to translate research to the clinic to improve disease outcomes in the future.

NEW YORK, July 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Allelica, Inc., a leading provider of software tools for polygenic risk scores (PRS), announced a collaboration with Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, to utilize Allelica’s bioinformatics software with Thermo Fisher’s Axiom™ Human Genotyping Microarrays to provide end-to-end solutions for genomics research customers.

The genetic research and medical communities are gaining interest in PRS for disease risk prediction of common diseases and clinical trial patient stratification. PRS quantifies the total risk of specific diseases based on common variants in a patient’s genome and is then used to categorize groups of subjects or research participants based on their risk levels. This information can help make well-informed decisions and improve outcomes. Allelica offers a wide selection of PRS validated in multiple ancestries, allowing implementation in diverse populations.

While PRS has traditionally required extensive bioinformatics resources and investment, through Allelica’s collaboration with Thermo Fisher, clinical researchers now have access to off-the-shelf workflows including everything needed to create and implement PRS, from sample prep and microarrays to risk interpretation reports.

“Providing PRS tools to deliver disease risk profiles will enable significant advances in precision medicine, including development of personalized treatment strategies for patients,” said Giordano Bottà, chief executive officer and co-founder of Allelica. “By collaborating with Thermo Fisher, a leader in predictive genomics, to streamline data analysis, we can also help researchers spend more time on research which will ultimately improve disease outcomes in the future.”

Allelica’s software for new PRS development, available on the cloud or on-premises, runs a series of PRS algorithms simultaneously to identify the most predictive model in diverse populations. It also allows researchers to validate a PRS on an independent, ancestry-diverse dataset to help understand clinical applicability.

“Microarrays are a trusted and cost-effective solution for genomic research, and Thermo Fisher is continuously innovating to deliver improved workflow solutions as reflected in our recent launch of the Axiom™ PangenomiX Array to provide the most comprehensive population coverage on a high-throughput array to date,” said Kevin Lowitz, vice president and general manager, microarray, Thermo Fisher. “By integrating Allelica’s software with our microarray platform, we can help solve a pain point for researchers so they can focus on translating genetic insights into impactful actions.”

All Applied Biosystems™ Axiom™ Human Genotyping Arrays are for Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic purposes.

About Allelica

Beijing Review: 50 Years of Growing Partnership

Published

on

By

BEIJING, May 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On May 6, 1975, China and the European Economic Community, the predecessor to today’s European Union, established diplomatic relations. This historic moment opened a new chapter of friendship and cooperation.

 

Over the past half a century, both sides have championed multilateralism, deepened collaboration and achieved mutually beneficial outcomes. Their enduring efforts have played a constructive role in advancing global peace and development. A healthy and stable partnership not only serves their interests, but also helps shape a better world.

“The wise find common ground; the unwise dwell on differences.” This slightly adapted line from the earliest known text on Chinese medicine, The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon, reflects the spirit of cooperation between the two sides across decades and offers a guiding vision for the future.

In March 2014, shortly before his state visit to Belgium and visit to the EU headquarters, President Xi Jinping cited this ancient Chinese quote in his article published in Belgian newspaper Le Soir. The sentence emphasizes that wise people focus on shared values and embrace diversity to achieve mutual benefit; whereas the unwise amplify differences, foment conflict and invite failure.

Through this quote, Xi conveyed his hope that China and the EU will respect each other, treat each other as equals, seek common ground while respecting differences, deepen communication and stay committed to mutually beneficial cooperation. He called for finding the greatest common interests, sharing opportunities and jointly tackling challenges.

Given their differences in history and culture, social institutions and stages of development, it is only natural for China and the EU to have varying perspectives, and even disagreements, on certain issues. Like-mindedness makes for partnership, and seeking common ground while respecting differences is also a feature of partnership.

Both past experiences and present realities have shown that as long as both sides adhere to mutual respect, treat each other as equals and engage in candid dialogue, differences cannot stand in the way of dialogue, nor can disagreements impede collaboration.

To date, China and the EU have established over 70 consultation and dialogue mechanisms, covering a broad spectrum of sectors including politics, economy and trade, people-to-people exchange, science and technology, energy and the environment.

Bilateral trade expanded from just over $2.4 billion in 1975 to over $780 billion in 2024. Two-way investment, once negligible, surged to nearly $260 billion. Since its launch in 2011, the China-Europe Railway Express, dubbed the “steel camel caravan,” has reached 227 cities across 25 European countries, completing over 100,000 freight trips, and become a key link between Asia and Europe.

Throughout history, both Chinese and European civilizations have made lasting impacts on the progress of humanity. In recent years, exchanges in education, science and technology have flourished. Cultural exchange is becoming more vibrant and connections between people are growing ever closer, continuously enriching their shared stories of mutual understanding, cooperation, exchange and mutual learning.

“The wise find common ground; the unwise dwell on differences.” At the new starting point that is the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations, China and the EU should remain true to the original aspiration of their partnership, seek common ground while respecting differences, build mutual trust and pursue mutually beneficial cooperation. Together, they will foster global peace and prosperity, as well as usher in a new, promising chapter in the next 50 years.
