QIAGEN announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Genoox, a provider of AI-powered software that enables clinical labs to scale and accelerate the processing of complex genetic tests.
The acquisition adds Franklin, Genoox’s flagship cloud-based community platform, to the QIAGEN Digital Insights (QDI) portfolio.
Franklin empowers labs to analyze next-generation sequencing (NGS) data – from targeted gene panels to whole exome and genome sequencing (WES/WGS) - and delivers real-time, AI-driven insights to support clinical decision-making. Applications range from diagnosing genetic disorders and informing cancer treatments to supporting family planning decisions.
The acquisition also creates a path to integrate QIAGEN’s genomic content into the Franklin platform. This includes the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD), the Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer (COSMIC), and the QIAGEN Knowledge Base (QKB) – all of which power the company’s leading QCI Interpret and QCI Precision Insights solutions. These future integrations will expand Franklin’s interpretive power, and in turn improving diagnostic yield, turnaround time and scalability for clinical labs.
