Listening to Your Needs. Earning Your Trust.

In 2012, field-defining experts in machine learning, plant research and bioinformatics founded Computomics as a spin-off from Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology and the University of Tübingen. The idea from the start: Utilizing cutting-edge bioinformatics tools to deliver highly accurate, customized service projects to companies across the globe.

Today, with the experience of more than 180 successfully completed projects for customers in 15 countries, Computomics helps navigate the complexities of all genomes. Our advanced machine learning methods enable rapid understanding of genomic data for agricultural, biotech, microbiome, and metabolomics researchers.

We provide our clients with thorough consultation on their sequencing projects, with in-depth analysis of their genomic data and with comprehensive reports.

What we offer is a full-service-partnership from the first experiment design to the integration of the results into your own system.
