REPOSITIVE LIMITED is developing bioinformatics and web tools to overcome the barriersto access to human genome sequencing data to support new development in medical research,diagnostics and development of new cures.We are developing repositive.io, our online platform and web application for collaborativedata discovery, metadata management tools, secure data access for individual users and datafocused collaborations within and between institutions. It will enable users to access and usethe INFORMATION stored in genetic sequence WITHOUT accessing the data itself orcompromising IP or associated personal information.It will comprise (1) a Data Discovery Platform as a set of data discovery and managementtools with open access due to be launched at beta in April 2015 and (2) premium functions toenable collaborative and privacy preserving access to data as part of a data discoveryfunctionality. These premium functions will be enabled through a novel commercially andtechnically innovative Privacy Preserving Query Engine (PPQE).Funding of this Smart project, lasting 6 months, will enable us to develop, to Proof of Conceptstage, the novel functionality of our Privacy Preserving Query Engine. On completion, wewill be able to offer it to target customers for testing and then to bring it to market by Q22016.
