Edico Genome is a San Diego–based biotechnology research company founded in 2013 that develops hardware-accelerated solutions for genomic data analysis. Its DRAGEN Bio-IT Processor is designed to speed up the processing of next-generation sequencing data, delivering greater scale and accuracy for the analysis pipeline. By handling steps such as mapping, alignment, sorting, and variant calling, the technology aims to reduce the computational time from hours to minutes and lower the cost of data analysis, addressing the bottleneck created by the rapidly expanding volumes of sequencing data. Edico Genome serves customers in genomics research and sequencing infrastructure, including collaborations with providers that host or process large-scale sequencing data. Notable partnerships include a 2022 collaboration with Macrogen (now Psomagen) to reinforce its Bio-IT infrastructure with DRAGEN processors, and a 2017 collaboration with Seven Bridges to offer DRAGEN pipelines within a cloud-based data ecosystem. These partnerships illustrate the company's role in integrating accelerated NGS analysis into existing sequencing workflows and data platforms.
