Ai In Action

Today's guest is Shawn Sullivan, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Phase Genomics in Seattle, Washington. Phase Genomics was founded in 2015 by a team of genome scientists, software engineers, and entrepreneurs with the mission of maximizing the impact of genomics on society. With the vast majority of biological information remaining un-explored, the company seek to empower researchers to make breakthrough discoveries using the power of advanced, next-generation genomic tools. The cornerstone of their approach lies in a technology called proximity ligation, which enables unprecedented improvements in the depth and quality of information generated from DNA sequencing efforts. From the discovery of thousands of new bacteria from microbiome samples to platinum quality genome assemblies, their wet lab and computational tools add a new dimension to genomic information. By continuously developing new genomic methods, Phase Genomics seek to bring transformative change to research, industry and the clini
