• Business Structure

  • GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Sequentia Biotech is a bioinformatics company that transforms omics data into knowledge. We offer bioinformatics SaaS, custom software development, and bioinformatics consulting for research and industry across various application fields, including agriculture and the environment. Our solutions are user-friendly, flexible, accessible, and scalable for genomics, metagenomics, transcriptomics, and epigenomics. We are located in Barcelona, with clients in 65 countries and over 1,200 users of our SaaS. We have completed more than 300 bioinformatics projects, and our solutions have been awarded in national and European calls. Additionally, we have published over 60 papers in high-impact journals, including Nature and Science.
  • BUSINESS LINES:
    • Bioinformatics SaaS: cloud software designed for users with no prior bioinformatics experience. They allow for real-time NGS data analysis, providing clear and simple results, with no additional costs for IT infrastructures.
    • AIR: RNAseq data analysis.
    • GAIA: metagenomics data analysis (Amplicon, Shotgun, and metatranscriptomics).
    • GINO: genomic data analysis (panels, exomes, and WGS).
    • Software development: tailored to the specific needs of our clients, with proprietary algorithms and databases, integrating various levels of omics.
    • Bioinformatics consulting: a comprehensive service for support in experimental design and advanced bioinformatics analysis to solve complex problems and deliver clear results.
    • NGS: we integrate our bioinformatics solutions with sequencing services from major platforms (Illumina, Oxford Nanopore, PacBio, Ion Torrent).
  • INTERESTING DATA: Sequentia was founded by two scientists experts in plant biotechnology: Walter Sanseverino (Postdoc in Bioinformatics, PhD in Genomics) and Riccardo Aiese Cigliano (Postdoc in Epigenomics, PhD in Biotechnology). Some of the projects we have carried out in plant biotechnology include custom platforms for the navigation of genomic and transcriptomic data used by breeders; solutions for the development of microbial biostimulants that integrate genomics, metagenomics, and transcriptomics used by R&D teams from key companies in the sector; and genomic platforms for the search for resistance and quality genes.
