For Scientists, Patients, and the Planet
Magna Labs was founded by a former Illumina bioinformatician and engineer who recognized a critical gap in the field of bioinformatics: the lack of adoption of conventional software development processes and technologies that have proven to drive growth, acceleration, and quality improvements in other industries.
In the bioinformatics industry, scientists often spend 20-60% of their time on software testing and quality assurance (QA) tasks. These tasks include longitudinal QA tracking, multi-tool benchmarking, re-analysis with updated software requirements, parameter tuning for analysis pipelines, sourcing test data, and troubleshooting software issues.
We believe these time-consuming tasks can be streamlined into an automated workflow, allowing bioinformatics teams to focus on innovation and discovery rather than manual QA activities.
At Magna Labs, our mission is to empower computational biology teams to confidently build and use bioinformatics tools. Whether you are developing production-grade bioinformatic tools or selecting the best tools and parameters for your sequencing data analyses, software quality is crucial.
By testing and validating bioinformatic pipelines early and frequently, scientists can:
We are a diverse team of biologists, bioinformaticians, and software engineers committed to providing user-friendly and collaborative software QA solutions to the computational biology community.
Having faced the technical and knowledge barriers to rigorous bioinformatic software testing ourselves, we are dedicated to changing the status quo with QA tools designed for diverse scientific teams and a wide range of omics applications.
Magna Labs offers a suite of best-in-class software QA tools for bioinformatics. Our platform includes:
Our tool suite offers software test automation, real-time benchmarking, centralized test management, data curation and synthesis, advanced data intelligence, and collaborative reporting.
Designed for interdisciplinary scientific teams, our bioinformatics QA platform supports deep customization to meet the demands of diverse and evolving biological data types and analysis methods.
Our accessible, collaborative, and flexible platform enables teams to explore test results and input data comprehensively, promoting evidence-based bioinformatic tool development.
By incorporating software development best practices into the omics field, we empower R&D teams to move quickly and confidently through the development process.
Our rigorous, systematic, and unbiased evaluation of bioinformatic tools sets new standards across the research industry and in regulatory assessments.
