Repositive, a software company developing novel tools to improve access to human genomic research data, has expanded the number of datasets now available on its free platform to include 1,006,914 datasets from 32 different global data sources.
The Repositive team has been expanding the range of datasets available by incorporating public data, privately held data, and has continued to add specialist dataset collections including Chinese control data, Methylation data and Expression data.
Alongside the specialized dataset collections, Repositive has also created a pre-competitive consortium with AstraZeneca. The consortium will develop a resource for streamlined discovery and access to molecular data from Patient Derived Xenografts (PDXs) in oncology research.

Fiona Nielsen, CEO of Repositive said: “Over a million datasets is a significant landmark for Repositive. However, sheer quantity of data is often not enough, so we have invested considerably in helping the scientific community to identify and use the most relevant and high quality data for their research.”
This latest news builds on a number of other key developments during 2016. The company has launched an upgraded platform, raised additional seed funding of £500,000, secured partnerships and with AstraZeneca and Xpressomics and won the Pistoia Alliance inaugural President’s Start Up Challenge.
Repositive are experts in the provision of efficient access to genomic data. Through their platform, researchers and scientists are able to quickly and easily access data from a range of global sources, and securely make their data accessible to both internal and external collaborators. The Repositive platform enables researchers to interact with the research community to identify more relevant data, and benefit from the community feedback and data annotations. From their headquarters in Cambridge, the Repositive team of experts in genomics, data access policies and effective metadata management, also offer a range of services to corporate customers including large-scale enterprise solutions.
