Tagomics Ltd., an innovative biomarker discovery and diagnostics company, has entered into a strategic co-marketing agreement with Agilent Technologies, a global leader in genomics tools. This partnership offers select customers exclusive access to a combined technology platform through a Technology Access Program hosted at Tagomics’ Cambridge service lab.
Tagomics’ Interlace™ multiomics platform employs a novel epigenetic profiling approach that enriches unmethylated DNA for analysis without altering its sequence. By integrating whole-genome or targeted sequencing with advanced bioinformatics and machine learning, Interlace provides a cost-effective, low-input, automatable workflow to analyze epigenetic, genetic, and fragmentomic features in a unified process.
Agilent Technologies brings its expertise in targeted genomic profiling with the SureSelect Library Preparation and Target Enrichment System. Combined with SureSelect Cancer Panels, this system detects a range of somatic variants, including SNVs, CNVs, indels, translocations, gene fusions, and critical immuno-oncology biomarkers like tumor mutational burden (TMB) and microsatellite instability (MSI).
The partnership integrates Agilent’s SureSelect XT HS2 technology into the Interlace workflow, offering seamless genomic and epigenomic analysis within a single platform. This collaboration enables researchers to gain comprehensive insights into disease mechanisms, paving the way for new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
“We’re excited to combine our Interlace platform with Agilent’s proven technologies to deliver deeper biological insights,” said Dr. Jack Kennefick, CEO of Tagomics. Ronda Allen, General Manager of Genomics at Agilent, added, “This partnership enhances our shared mission to advance genomic science and unlock new possibilities for our customers.”
The joint Technology Access Program allows select customers to experience these capabilities firsthand, driving innovation in biomarker discovery and disease understanding.
