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 evaluation and quality-related tasks, including benchmarking, comparative analysis, sample re-analysis, parameter tuning, sourcing or generating data, and reproducing and troubleshooting issues.

These tasks can all be automated and streamlined into our integrated and collaborative system that enables synergistic tool improvements to the development workflow.
