As omics and AI converge, DNAnexus has become the clear standard for turning that convergence into scientific breakthroughs.”
The recognition caps a period of accelerating growth for DNAnexus, the platform where frontier science happens. Founded in 2009, it has become foundational to modern scientific pursuits. DNAnexus is home to the largest globally connected community of scientists, spanning over 64,000 researchers across 54 countries and 130+ enterprises, running on 135+ petabytes of omics data. Omics is the world’s most complex data in healthcare as it is longitudinal, multimodal, computationally heavy, and subject to the most rigorous regulatory scrutiny in science. DNAnexus turns omics data into a reusable, enterprise-grade asset, validated to the same standard whether a scientist or an AI model acts on it. It is where AI is orchestrated across the precision health ecosystem, and where data becomes discovery at an unmatched industrial scale.
