Spyro
Spyro: Empowering Familial Genetic Research Through Data Visualizations The field of precision medicine is projected for rapid growth in the next decade and genome analysis is at the forefront of this trend. However, current genome analysis tools have various issues: they have high learning curves, they are visually unappealing, and they have no easy way to compare multiple individuals’ genome data. In response to these issues, we have partnered with Spiral Genetics, a Seattle-based bioinformatics startup, to develop Spyro, a user-focused genome visualization tool. By leveraging Spiral Genetics’ next generation sequencing data, our tool allows researchers to utilize a comprehensive set of features in a simple, intuitive interface. Researchers can analyze an individual’s genetic variants, as well as make comparisons between multiple individuals. Because Spyro is focused on representing variant detection, researchers in this field can quickly adopt our tool and start analyzing.
