Palo Alto, CA — September 21, 2026 — Benthic Genomics, Inc. (“Benthic Genomics”) today announced that it has licensed Angler Imputation software for Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) for integration into a leading genomics solution provider’s platform. Angler Imputation imputes Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) genotypes from array data at three-field (six-digit) resolution and beyond across diverse populations. It covers 45 key immune genes including the classical HLA (HLA-A, -B, -C
New analysis module expands Benthic’s commercial portfolio with support for short-read sequencing workflows Palo Alto, CA — April 16, 2026 — Benthic Genomics today announced the launch of Mako, a short-read immunogenomics analysis module on the Benthic Analysis Platform. Mako is designed to reconstruct phased haplotypes across the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and generate high-resolution HLA typing and immune-region variant calls from standard short-read sequencing
New cloud-based platform transforms standard microarray data into comprehensive HLA typing across 45 immune genes with >95% accuracy, democratizing access to precision immunogenetics Palo Alto, CA – September 10, 2025 – Benthic Genomics today announced the commercial launch of Angler Imputation, available on Benthic’s cloud-based platform, that enables any researcher with standard genotyping data to perform high-resolution immunogenetic analysis. Angler, which delivers 3-fie
