ABOUT US
Better bioinformatics software means better outcomes for scientists, patients, and the planet.
OUR STORY
Magna Labs' founding, by a former Illumina bioinformatician and engineer, was inspired by years of observation that the bioinformatics tool development field was struggling to adopt conventional software development processes and technologies that have proven to be efficient in driving massive growth, acceleration and quality improvement.
Bioinformatics scientists in industry report spending 20-60% of their time on software testing and quality assurance (QA) tasks, including longitudinal QA tracking, multi-tool benchmarking, QA re-analysis with updated software requirements, parameter tuning for analysis pipelines, test data sourcing, and troubleshooting software issues.
With the right software tools, these time-consuming tasks can all be streamlined into an automated workflow that can be readily deployed at any time or at any cadence.
