Overview

• The Arc Institute has officially announced partnerships with 10x Genomics and Ultima Genomics to accelerate the expansion of its Virtual Cell Atlas.
• 10x Genomics will provide its Chromium Flex system with GEM-X Flex technology, enabling simultaneous analysis of millions of perturbed cells at high resolution.
• Ultima Genomics will contribute its UG100 sequencing system with Solaris chemistry, including early access to the Solaris Boost mode for increased data yield and lower sequencing costs.
• The expanded datasets will be openly shared as a resource for the scientific community, supporting predictive modeling and precision therapeutic development.
• This initiative aims to advance systems biology and drug discovery by generating large-scale, high-resolution perturbational data for AI-driven cellular function models.
