differentiator of Strand
Ramanujan is the range
of tasks it carries out. As
the image below indicates,
Strand Ramanujan is an
end-to-end intelligence
augmentation platform
that manages workflows
of a diagnostic lab from
sample collection through
clinical interpretation
and reporting. We are
unaware of any platform
anywhere that competes
with Ramanujan in “end-
to-end”. This translates
into Strand’s unique
ability to provide accurate
reports with aggressive
turn-around times and at
reduced costs which will
only improve at scale.
What are the latest
global trends in next-
generation sequencing
technology that will
revolutionize medical
sciences? Is India
contributing enough?
One major trend in next-
generation sequencing is
the continuously reducing
cost of sequencing. NGS
technologies are following
a rapidly accelerating
exponential law that
has come to be called
“Flatley’s Law”, which
is moving at roughly
the square of Moore’s
law since 2008. India
is not in a position to
really make a dent in the
sequencing technology
platform technologies
today. However, as
sequencing kits and
instruments become
cheaper we anticipate
