Discovery of pathogens for research purposes

Exploration, identification, and characterization of microorganisms

Whether you’re investigating viral evolution, exploring microbial diversity, or searching for emerging pathogens, Genome Detective delivers the analytical depth and flexibility researchers need. Our cloud-based platform identifies, annotates, and interprets unknown genomes, revealing genetic relationships, functional features, and evolutionary insights.

By integrating multiple bioinformatics steps into one workflow, Genome Detective enables rapid discovery without the complexity of assembling multiple tools.
