CA-BINA-TECHNOLOGIES-INC
Bina Technologies, Inc., a member of the Roche Group (SWX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY), received top honors in the recent DREAM Mutation Calling Challenge, an open crowd-sourced competition and international effort to aggregate prediction algorithms for identifying cancer-associated mutations and rearrangements in next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. The challenge’s winning algorithms are poised to become industry standards for analyzing cancer genomes.
Bina submitted results for the detection of both somatic single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and small insertions and deletions (indels) in two categories in tumor-normal pairs. In the indel sub-challenge, the Bina team achieved an F1-score of 0.716 and took first place. In the somatic SNV sub-challenge, the Bina team ranked second, with an F1-score of 0.997. Understanding these mutations in the tumor DNA may contribute to the development of targeted therapies.
The challenge is presented by the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cancer genomics projects, along with Sage Bionetworks and IBM-DREAM.
“Bina Genomic Management Solution1 provides robust and reliable analysis of the cancer genomes along with scalable informatics infrastructure to help solve big data problems in next-generation sequencing,” said Narges Bani Asadi, CEO of Bina Technologies. “We pride ourselves in advancing science and contributing to the open source community. To have our detection algorithms rank at the top amongst those submitted by well-established genome institutions demonstrates our commitment to accelerating bioinformatics development in cancer research.”
