`R&D Update
`
`•Moving forward on
`all three services.
`

`
`Update: Genome Pipeline Service
`• Team focused on development of the prototype Pipeline Service
`• On track for testing prototype with “friendly” collaborators in
`Aug 2012
`• Agile development/Scrum (2-3 week cycles) Dev Process
`• Development environment in place:
`•
`JIRA (for project management, collaboration)
`• GIT (version control system)
`• Confluence (JIRA plug-in for internal WIKI)
`• Key Risks/Challenges
`• Product differentiation through accuracy and content – actively managing and iterating on
`features/product design to maximize differentiation/value
`• Hiring – working aggressively with recruiter for scientific computing and BI hires, delay in hires
`could affect schedule
`• Computing infrastructure - currently contrained by rackspace at Regus, with move, now working to
`address computing CPUs, storage, network speed needs
`• Move to new office –move plan minimizes disruption, should impact the schedule < 3-5 days
`•
`Licensing of 3rd party tools and content
`•
`Identifying friendly research collaborators to work with in August – need time to put IRB and
`collaboration agreements in place

`
`
`
`Update: DVDS and GIS
`
`•
`
`Success of Pipeline and Accuracy efforts are critical for these products
`
`• Resources focused on pipeline development, but working concurrently on
`defining and spec’ing the DVDS and GIS
`
`• Completed first draft of functional spec and sample report for DVDS, now
`in project planning and resourcing phase

`MendelDB Dashboard
`
`•
`
`•
`
`•
`
`High quality curated DB of Mendelian
`phenotypes and their variants
`– Managed by Sarah Garcia and Gemma
`Chandratillake, both Genetics Ph.D. & Genetic
`Counselors
`
`Critical content to support Disease Variant
`Discovery Service and Genome Interpretation
`Service
`
`On track to finish all (~560) GeneReviews by Aug
`2012, corresponding to >200 common
`Mendelian disease phenotypes
`
`• Will then continue phenotype curation and
`variant curation from other sources
`
`•
`
`Flexible workforce for other curation tasks in the
`future

`
`
`Supercentenarian Collaboration
`
`• Completed IRB and Stanford Collaboration Agreement with Dr. Stuart Kim
`and Stanford
`• Moving forward with research collaboration
`• Goal: To uncover genetic factors that permit extreme longevity
`• Do supercentenarians have fewer overall risk alleles for common diseases that help them avoid
`disease?
`• Do supercentenarians have protective alleles that allow them to avoid aging/disease?
`• Do supercentenarians have CNVs that provide protection against or promote aging/disease?
`• Details:
`• >=110 yrs old, 71 such people in the world, most female
`• ~17 supercentenarians (>=110 years old) have been sequenced (CG)
`• Analyzing variants using our content/algorithms
`• Benefits:
`• Potentially high profile, impact publication
`• Will showcase the power of our content from Varimed
`• Research experience with genomes from extremely healthy, long lived people
`• Test case for our Pipeline product

`
`
`
`Scientific Computing Infrastructure
`
`•
`
`Increased needs from:
`– Accuracy and R&D effort
`• processing and reprocessing of numerous genomes has increased computing requirements
`substantially
`
`• Additional New hardware geared at:
`•
`Increasing our genome processing capability
`– Dell R910 servers x 4 (for total of 6)
`– Dell R710 servers x 5
`Increasing our overall storage to enable development work, download of numerous genomes
`for development and testing work requires more storage
`– NAS (100 to 150TB of storage needed)
`Increasing speed of network
`– 10G switches

`
`
`Overall R&D Risks and Mitigation
`
`Risk
`
`Mitigation
`
`• Hiring great people takes time. If not hired on schedule, may
`impact schedule
`• Numerous development tasks are still research in nature
`making timeline more difficult to estimate
`
`• Long lead time content curation and content quality items for
`GIS and DVDS
`• Product dev process
`
`• Licensing of applications and content for analysis
`• Ethical use of Genomes for R&D
`
`• Product Differentiation
`
`• Scalability of products and services
`
`• Recruiters now involved, behind on scientific computing
`• Web site careers posting
`• Continue rapid prototyping to resolve, get visibility on some
`key technical risks to plan appropriately, especially with
`Accuracy effort, GIS product and report generation
`• Started on those items with long lead times to develop
`concurrently with Pipeline (MendelDB, etc)
`• Basic Project Mgmt infrastructure deployed including JIRA,
`GIT, JIRA, etc to enhance efficiency
`
`• Systematically reviewing and applying for licenses.
`• Ethics board approval for all Genomes used for R&D
`• Part of orientation training
`• Continuing to push differentiation in three key areas:
`Accuracy/Quality, Content, Features
`• Prioritize resources towards demonstrating value with our
`services, then scaling once that is demonstrated
`
`• Identifying high quality collaborators for testing our services.
`Potentially long lead time.
`
`• Begin to identify collaborators for each of the services to get
`IRB ethical legal framework in place

`
`
`Next Steps & Priorities
`
`• Continuing hiring for open positions
`
`• Continue focus on Pipeline Service development with Aug 2012 prototype
`target
`
`• Begin to identify friendly collaborators for testing Pipeline Service Prototype
`
`•
`
`Further refine specs and project plan around Disease Variant Discovery
`Service and Genome Interpretation Service
`
`• Continue to execute on content priorities, develop longer term content
`strategy
`
`• Continue to execute on Accuracy objectives and integration with laboratory
`capabilities
