Benchmark genetics
Benchmark Genetics is a world-leading provider of aquaculture genetics with in-house, family-based breeding programmes, present in every major aquaculture market. We focus on the three main species of salmon, tilapia and shrimp.
Our breeding centres are located in Norway, Iceland, Chile, the USA, Brazil and Colombia. Our strategy is innovation-led, making use of modern breeding technologies such as QTL and Genomic Selection. Although technology is an important foundation of what we do, we believe in being customer-focused.
How many genes are included in a gene benchmark?
The benchmark consists of 1793 reference genes and their corresponding protein sequences from 147 species and covers a range of gene structures from single exon genes to genes with over 20 exons.
A crucial factor in the design of any benchmark is the quality of the data included.
Who can join the NextGeneration benchmark?
In addition, any smaller UK homebuilders that feature outside welcome to join the NextGeneration Benchmark as members.
It is made up of over 60 criteria, across 15 sections, covering the full ESG spectrum.
These criteria require companies to go beyond regulation and achieve industry best practice.
Who is benchmark genetics?
We are the leading provider of genetics services based on extensive experience from 30 applied breeding programs involving 20 species in 16 countries.
Benchmark Genetics brings together the companies Benchmark Genetics Norway AS, Benchmark Genetics Iceland H.F., Benchmark Genetics Chile, Spring Genetics and Benchmark Genetics Shrimp.
Why do we need a benchmark study of genome annotation methods?
The complexity of the genome annotation process and the recent activity in the field mean that it is timely to perform an extensive benchmark study of the main computational methods employed, in order to obtain a more detailed knowledge of their advantages and disadvantages in different situations.
In genetics, an isochore is a large region of genomic DNA with a high degree of uniformity in GC content; that is, guanine (G) and cytosine (C) bases.
The distribution of bases within a genome is non-random: different regions of the genome have different amounts of G-C base pairs, such that regions can be classified and identified by the proportion of G-C base pairs they contain.
Sophia Genetics is a data-driven medicine software company with headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland and Boston, Massachusetts.
It provides genomic and radiomic analysis for hospitals, laboratories, and biopharma institutions.
The company was ranked among the 50 smartest companies by the MIT Technology Review in 2017.
The company went public on the Nasdaq in 2021, floating at $1.1B.
