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
Allelica is a leading genomic software company that specializes in secure and scalable solutions to implement bioinformatics solutions.

By

NANNING, China, April 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This is a report from china-asean-media.com.

The 14-day “2026 Vietnam-China Cross-Border Tourism AI Empowerment Cooperation and Exchange Program” successfully concluded on April 19 in Nanning, Guangxi. Co-hosted by the Department of Culture and Tourism of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (China) and the Departments of Culture, Sports, and Tourism of Quang Ninh, Lang Son, Cao Bang, and Tuyen Quang provinces (Vietnam), the event brought together nearly 30 tourism officials and industry representatives from the four Vietnamese localities.

With the theme “Vietnam-China AI + Cross-Border Tourism Exchange and Cooperation,” the program combined expert lectures, case studies on AI applications, and field visits. Participants gained insights into ASEAN-China tourism policies, AI-driven cross-border cooperation models, and smart tourism technologies. Hands-on training enabled them to use AI tools for decision-making, product development, and destination branding.

The delegation conducted field studies in Nanning, Liuzhou, Guilin, and Hechi. They visited the China-ASEAN AI Innovation and Cooperation Center, the “Easy Visit Guangxi” platform, the No. Wang Cultural Industrial Park, and the BAO JUN base, experiencing Guangxi’s smart, industrial, landscape, and wellness tourism offerings.

A meaningful part of the program was retracing President Ho Chi Minh’s revolutionary footsteps in Guangxi, including visits to the former site of Yucai School in Nanning, the former residence of Ho Chi Minh in Liuzhou, and the “September 2” School site in Guilin. On April 17, all participants attended the launch ceremony of the 2026 Vietnam-China Border People’s Carnival in Nanning, witnessing the deep friendship and mutual support between the border communities of both nations.

At the closing ceremony on April 18, a cross-border tourism product design competition was held. The team from Quang Ninh won the Best Design Award, while teams from Lang Son, Cao Bang, and Tuyen Quang received Excellence Awards. Mr. Lưu Bá Mạc, Vice Director of Lang Son’s Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, praised the program for fostering practical cooperation and opening new directions for the “comrades and brothers” friendship between local authorities.

The program not only provided Vietnamese tourism professionals with valuable knowledge in AI and smart tourism but also laid a solid foundation for future cooperation in building shared tourism information platforms, developing smart products, and enhancing data connectivity. Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to advancing high-quality development of the cultural and tourism industry through AI, contributing to the strategic Vietnam-China community with a shared future.
