The newly built, comprehensive suite of NGS capabilities provides clients with a streamlined multi-omics workflow of high-quality services, enabling full genomic understanding, including global gene expression, mutations, and genomic structures. This is a significant addition to CrownBio’s current preclinical and translational services, allowing clients greater insight into disease mechanisms, drug MOAs, and responder patient populations, to ultimately accelerate successful development of effective therapies.
The expanded services have been established at the Company’s Center of Translational Science in Suzhou, China, to meet increased client demand for whole genome sequencing (WGS), including Illumina’s Novaseq 6000 and BGI’s MGISEQ-2000 second generation sequencing platform. PacBio’s third generation Sequel Ⅱ sequencing platform allows for high throughput, high accuracy long-read NGS, and Bionano’s Saphyr® Genome Imaging enables large structural variant analysis and genome mapping. Comprehensive data analysis pipelines have also been built, together offering highly sensitive genome assembly and discovery algorithms.
“With our range of validated services, we can help drug developers improve the accuracy, sensitivity and speed at which they progress their new agent programs via discovery of MOAs and predictive biomarkers,” said Henry Li, PhD, chief scientific officer at CrownBio. “This type of multi-omics data is essential to understand the clinical populations that respond to anticancer agents and progress cancer treatments.”
In addition to the validated commercial platforms, CrownBio has also developed various powerful biomedical applications using NGS platforms, including NGS panels for bio-sample authentication, contamination detection and quantification, mouse tumor microenvironment profiling and metagenomic sequencing services for microbiome analysis. Custom NGS services are also available for clients who wish to utilize CrownBio’s expertise and large model biobank.
“Quality downstream applications are key to maximizing the full potential of in vivo study results, including our wealth of historical model and treatment data,” said Sheng Guo, PhD, head of bioinformatics at CrownBio. “These are leveraged by a highly experienced team and a proprietary, published algorithm to provide important biomarker discovery and drug mechanism probing services.”
These NGS services are available for client use immediately including our newly launched mouse I/O profiling targeted RNA-seq panel . The panel will allow deep profiling of the immunogenomics of murine tumor-immune interactions through the measurement of 1080 transcripts from a single sample.

Klarna Card reaches 5 million active customers19.3.2026 15:31:00 CET | Press release
Klarna, the global digital bank and payments provider, today announced that the Klarna Card has reached 5 million active customers globally, underscoring rapid adoption as consumers shift towards new forms of payment which provide more control over day-to-day money management. The card draws from the customer's own funds for everyday spending, with the option to spread the cost of a specific purchase, like a large appliance or a flight, when it makes sense to do so. The result is a card that offers genuine spending control without the long-term debt obligations that come with traditional credit cards. The card’s growth is reinforced by Klarna’s membership program. The program offers premium perks such as airport lounge access, travel insurance, and lifestyle subscriptions — without requiring users to take on debt, meet spending thresholds, or revolve balances. By separating everyday spending from rewards, Klarna is challenging the strings-attached model legacy banks have long relied on

Armis Launches First-of-Its-Kind Benchmark Report Warning of Critical Security Gaps in AI-Native Development19.3.2026 13:00:00 CET | Press release
Research reveals 100% of leading generative AI models fail to generate secure code for critical development scenarios Armis, the cyber exposure management & security company, is warning that the rapid enterprise adoption of AI-native development is outpacing critical security safeguards, leaving organizations exposed to systemic vulnerabilities. New research from Armis Labs’ Trusted Vibing Benchmark Report, which evaluates 18 leading generative AI models across 31 test scenarios, reveals a 100% failure rate in generating secure code. These vulnerabilities are most prevalent in high-risk areas like memory buffer overflows, design file uploads and authentication systems. Therefore, organizations should immediately implement AI-native application security controls to reduce risk. “The era of vibe coding is here, but speed should not come at the cost of security,” said Nadir Izrael, CTO and Co-Founder of Armis. “Our research finds that the worst offenders are the same ones selling security
