About Us

The Global Standard for Omics Intelligence

DNAnexus runs the world’s largest omics estates, 140 petabytes and growing 30% a year, for the pharma companies, diagnostic labs, health systems, biobanks, and regulators whose work cannot afford to be wrong. We take on the hard problems, and we take them on as your committed partner.

Our Mission

We build the trusted infrastructure where the world’s omics data and AI come together to advance human health.

Our Vision

A world where omics and AI, working as one, give everyone longer, healthier lives.

Seventeen years in,
three chapters tell our story.

  1. 2009–2015

    Committing to powering the genomics revolution.

    DNAnexus was founded in 2009, as sequencing costs collapsed and data volumes exploded, on a bet that genomics belonged in the cloud when much of the field thought that was reckless.

    Within a few years the platform was running secondary analysis for the largest diagnostic labs and pharma programs in the world, and in 2015 the FDA chose it to build precisionFDA.

  2. 2016–2021

    Earning trust where the stakes are highest.

    GxP, FedRAMP and years of regulated production work followed. In 2021 UK Biobank launched its Research Analysis Platform on DNAnexus, opening the world’s richest biomedical dataset to researchers everywhere.

    As the questions crossed modalities, so did our technologies: beyond genomics to every related omics layer, plus the clinical and phenotypic data needed to study whole populations. Over time we were trusted with data reflecting more than 200 million lives.

  3. 2022 onward

    Organizing omics into intelligence.

    DNAnexus now secures more than 140 petabytes of omics data and grows by a third every year. This chapter is about transforming your omics data into a standardized, AI-ready and powered asset that your models, agents, and scientists can act on.

Our Values

Accountable

We own the outcome, not just the deliverable. When your data, your deadline or your audit is on the line, so are we.

Trusted

We treat the world’s most sensitive data as a responsibility, not a resource, and we earn that trust again with every release.

Groundbreaking

We put genomics in the cloud before the field even approached the concept. We set the standard and are committed to keeping the bar high.

Curious

We are scientists. We ask why, we do the homework, and we come back to you with an answer.
