Abstract

 

Sentieon (www.sentieon.com), incorporated in July 2014, develops and supplies a suite of bioinformatics secondary analysis tools that process genomics data with high computing efficiency, fast turnaround time, exceptional accuracy, and 100% consistency. Current released products include Sentieon DNAseq, a germline DNA pipeline, and Sentieon TNseq, for tumor-normal somatic variant detection. ​The Sentieon tools are easily scalable, easily deployable, easily upgradable, software-only solutions. The Sentieon tools achieve their efficiency and consistency through optimized computing algorithm design and enterprise-strength software implementation, and achieve high accuracy using the industryŐs most validated mathematics models. Sentieon products have won multiple awards at precision FDA challenges, and are currently at first place on ICGC-TCGA DREAM Mutation Calling challenge leaderboard. We strive to enable precision genomics data for precision medicine.
