NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – Aperiomics has been awarded additional Small Business Innovative Research funding from the National Science Foundation, the firm announced today.
The funding, which totals $229,000, will support the further development of the firm's deep metagenomic shotgun sequencing-based test that can be used to identify infectious disease pathogens. The test detects all bacteria, DNA viruses, fungi, and parasites in a single sample, comparing sequencing results to the firm's proprietary database of more than 32,000 microorganism genomes.
