March 1 (Reuters) - Qiagen QIA.DE is to collaborate
with Sophia Genetics SOPH.O on its next-generation sequencing
(NGS) kits, the US-German pharmaceutical company said on
Wednesday.
The alliance, part of Qiagen's Qiqseq platform partnership
program, aims to increase the compatibility of its NGS kits with
third-party digital data-sharing and analytics companies.
"The partnership with Sophia Genetics is planned to be
expanded to other areas of analysis," it added.
