Goldfinch and Loka have been collaborating on an initiative to tackle structural variant analysis, looking at large genomic variations that could have major implications for Goldfinch’s mission of delivering disease-modifying precision medicines for patients suffering with kidney disease. Adam and Bobby share their thoughts on when it makes sense to use and develop open source tools, what the impact of cutting edge data analysis is on developing new treatments, and how working with a partner can accelerate a project.
