Ambry Genetics Launches AmbryShare, the Largest Disease-Specific Public Database of Sequenced Human Genomes, Increasing the Understanding of Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer 10 Fold
In an effort to accelerate the quest for cures, the company released anonymous, aggregated genetic testing data for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer for use by researchers. The data comes from the sequencing of 10,000 patient exomes, which make up less than 2 percent of the human genome but include most of the known disease-associated variants. The company plans to add more data, available for free download to registered users at share.ambrygen.com, at least every quarter.
“What I’m trying to do is give away the data instead of hoard it or sell it to the highest bidder, to the people that actually do the cures,” Ambry Genetics Owner & President, Charles Dunlop said.
With help, we can provide enough public data that there will be no reason for others not to share. If everyone shares, we can learn and understand faster. With this, treatments and cures will come.
