We are pleased to announce that PetaGene has signed an agreement appointing Genique Lifesciences as the exclusive distributor of our genomic data management software in India.
The agreement will allow India-based Genique Lifesciences to act as the exclusive sales channel for PetaGene’s genomic data compression software for the growing Indian market. Genique’s founding team has extensive experience with distribution of Next Generation sequencers in India.
“Genique already possesses significant expertise in sequencing technology sales and the consumer DNA testing market, making it an ideal partner for us in India, one of the fastest growing genomics markets,” commented Vaughan Wittorff, Ph.D., Cofounder and Chief Commercial Officer of PetaGene. “We are excited to be working with Genique to bring PetaGene’s software to genomics researchers in India, so that they can access their genomic data faster, more efficiently, and store it more cost-effectively.”
