Ares Genetics ARESCloud

Ares Genetics, an OpGen subsidiary, has commercially launched ARESCloud, a web application aimed at accelerating the analysis of sequenced clinical isolates. The software fully auotmates data processing, from raw sequence data to report, and offers insights into epidemiologically and etiologically relevant information including pathogen identity, genotype, virulence, plasmids, and antimicrobial resistance. The news software also features tools for comparative and outbreak analysis. Under a simple subscription model users can access ARESdb, a proprietary knowledgebase containing comprehensive information on genetic and mutational AMR markers as well as advanced machine-learning models for the prediction of antibiograms directly from genomic data, the company said.
