OUR VISION
BRING THE POWER OF BIOINFORMATICS TO MEDICAL GENOMICS
During the last 10 years, medical genetics has drastically changed with the emergence of new sequencing technologies. It is thus now possible to sequence individual genomes in few hours. The challenge is therefore not anymore to generate the data but to efficiently identify disease-causing mutations among millions of variations: the "search a needle in a haystack" challenge.
Thanks to a fruitful partnership with experts from renown academic bioinformatics research teams from the Aix-Marseille University (AMU) and the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm), the Genomnis company is providing the most efficient systems to predict the pathogenicity of mutations from any human gene. The Human Splicing Finder system allows the identification of splicing signals and the impact of mutations on these signals, while the UMD-Predictor system is dedicated to the prediction of exonic substitutions.
Genomnis is also providing services to assist you to design your experiments and analyze data.
Our vision is to provide you the power of bioinformatics coupled with the experience of genetics experts to simplify your genomics journey.
UMD PREDICTOR Pro
Single Nucleotide Substitutions (SNP) represent the majority of human genetics variations with about 80,000 variants per human exome and more than 3,000,000 variations per human genome. SNPs also account for most human disease-causing mutations with approximately 56% of missense and nonsense mutations. If classifying nonsense mutations as disease-causing is trivial, the classification of missense or synonymous mutations is challenging.
The UMD-Predictor system is an innovative bioinformatics solution to predict the pathogenicity of any SNP from any human transcript. It relies on an original combinatorial approach that consistently outperformed other predictors as illustrated in the figure adapted from Salgado et al. 2016.
UMD Predictor Pro takes the unique combinatorial algorithm of UMD Predictor and adapts it to the GRCh38 reference genome (Ensembl 108 annotations). The addition of new parameters, such as those derived from DOLPHIN, enrich this algorithm and make it more efficient for all mutations including those localized in protein domains.
UMD Predictor Pro outperforms all competing products both in terms of accuracy and in terms of Matthews correlation coefficient.
Human Splicing Finder
If most human disease-causing mutations are localized in exons, it is now recognized that from 10 to 30% of those mutations are not pathogenic because of their impact on proteins but because of their impact on splicing. This, coupled with intronic disease-causing mutations, makes the study of splicing signals a key element of mutations analysis.
The HSF system is dedicated to the identification of all splicing signals including acceptor and donor splice sites, branch points and auxiliary splicing signals (ESE and ESS). It combines multiple algorithms and matrices in a one-stop-shop for splicing signals. Furthermore, it contains an expert system to digest all predictions and provide users with an easy to understand pathogenicity prediction for any intronic or exonic mutation potentially affecting splicing. It is today the reference system for such analysis as illustrated by the thousands of citations in the literature.
