Fabric Genomics and TOMA Biosciences Partner to Provide Clinical Labs with Seamless Integration of Tumor Profiling and Reporting of Somatic Variants in Cancer

“Our platform, Fabric Enterprise™, now extends beyond hereditary disease and provides labs with robust somatic cancer analysis and reporting capabilities,” said Matt Tindall, CEO of Fabric Genomics. “The goal of the collaboration is to provide labs offering cancer testing with a breakthrough assay for comprehensive analysis of all types of tumor samples—even those with limited volume and poor quality, including FFPE tissue. Our raw data-to-report platform for next-generation sequencing data analysis coupled with the TOMA OS-Seq Assay creates a seamless tumor profiling system for detection and clinical interpretation of somatic cancer variants.”

“We enable laboratories around the world to detect biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. As a result of our partnership with Fabric Genomics, we can offer a truly end-to-end solution,” said Wolfgang Daum, President and CEO of TOMA. “This system integrates TOMA’s wet lab and somatic bioinformatics pipeline with the annotation and reporting platform offered by Fabric Genomics. This combined service offers clinical laboratories everything they need to conduct tumor profiling from tumor DNA to report and can be up and running and ready to begin validation in under a week.”

TOMA’s proprietary oligo selective sequencing (OS-Seq) technology, which contains all necessary reagents to efficiently prepare sample DNA for sequencing, was invented at Stanford University, where it continues to be used today.
