Data Management & Protection, Sample Storage


 

Successful gene discovery is all about finding correlations – finding the connections between variations in the sequence of the genome with phenotypes or traits. From its founding, deCODE’s approach has been to assemble the data and tools necessary to this task. In our own work we have assembled detailed genetic and medical information of some 500,000 people, and have developed leading systems for managing, mining, storing and protecting this information on an industrial scale. 

We put our tools and capabilities to work for our hundreds of customers to deliver services of unique value

We put these tools and capabilities to work for our hundreds of customers to deliver services of unique value – to enable you to optimize your data and mine it to make discoveries. We employ these capabilities according to your needs. So not only can we give you the highest quality data, we also provide you with the DiseaseMiner system to store and analyze your data and integrate it with other phenotypic information you have.

You can install the system at your institution, but you can leverage our expertise in secure storage to keep the data in our warehouse, using our encryption systems to meet the most stringent data protection standards, and even use our fully automated sample storage facilities. Once our customers use our services, they tend to come back; our systems can save you time and money when you want to do follow-on studies.
