MANAGING THE SOLUTION HAS BEEN REALLY STRAIGHTFORWARD .
By leveraging insights from the GOAST solution , Novo Genomics can now perform in-depth clinical evaluations to find the specific gene variants or mutations causing inherited diseases . Healthcare organisations across the country can now send genetic samples to Novo Genomics for processing , enabling them to get faster insights than ever before .
" We are one of the first organisations to perform analysis and archiving of genomics data in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia ," confirms Alasiri . " Looking ahead , we ' re planning to extend our research beyond the human genome to agrigenomics and microbiomics and Lenovo GOAST will play a crucial role in our groundbreaking work ."
Following an in-depth proof of concept , Novo Genomics was confident that Lenovo GOAST was the ideal solution for its genomics research requirements .
" The life sciences team at Lenovo were extremely knowledgeable ," comments Alasiri . " Lenovo went out of their way to explain the principles behind GOAST and show us how the whole solution worked even giving us a demo unit so we could validate the solution for ourselves ."
From the initial deployment and beyond , Lenovo has worked closely with Novo Genomics to enhance the solution and unlock new research capabilities .
" In close collaboration with Lenovo , we ' re continually improving the GOAST solution ," states Alasiri . " For example , we ' ve recently worked together with Lenovo to complement the solution ' s germline genotyping and sequencing capabilities with somatic analytics . This will enable us to detect the unique somatic mutations that build up inside cancer cells and the new feature will become available to all GOAST users in the next software release .
" Thanks to our work with Lenovo and Intel , we ' re leading the way for genomics research in Saudi Arabia by making it easier for healthcare providers to order and use genomics insights to develop effective , personalised treatments .” �
