Edammo
Crunchbase | Website | Twitter | Facebook | Linkedin
We support solutions needed in the real world for the application of data science. Current data analytics technologies require large amounts of training data and long training times-this is not viable for most companies.
Contrarily, Edammo generates results based on small training samples and can create new models in real-time. We are committed not only to providing our clients with innovative machine learning solutions, but long-term support so that our clients can achieve their goals.
Developed and designed using in-house breakthrough, predictive analytics technology, Edammo enhances insights through innovative machine learning software. With a strong focus on real-time analysis, Edammo delivers dynamic and fully automated solutions without requiring users to manually adjust parameters.
Another key aspect of Edammo Technology is its ability to provide highly accurate results even based on small amounts of training data. In addition, our solution is fully versatile and can be implemented as either a cloud-based service or a local application.
The key proprietary advantages of the Edammo Data Analytics solutions is its ability to process transient data in real-time and the ability to derive insights from even small amounts of training data. Stationary components can be learned by traditional machine learning methods as they are stable in time.

Integrated DNA Technologies
Crunchbase | Website | Twitter | Facebook | Linkedin
Integrated DNA Technologies sells short strands of DNA called oligonucleotides. In order to better understand how these are useful, you’ll have to know a bit about DNA itself.
DNA is “the blueprint for life” and encodes instructions for all of life’s processes. DNA is a complex long thin molecule (strand) that is made from 4 possible building blocks called “bases”.
These bases are called Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine and Thymine, and the precise order of these bases is a code for information. In living organisms, DNA strands can be millions of bases long and therefore contain huge amounts of information.
This complexity is responsible for the vast complexity and diversity of life on earth. The way that one strand of DNA specifically binds a second strand of DNA allows scientists to use short DNA strands (oligos) as research tools.
A short synthetic piece of DNA (usually around 20 bases long) can be used to bind or find its matching sequence even in a complex mixture of millions of unrelated pieces of DNA. It is this unique fact that allows researchers to decode and study the genetic makeup of any living organism.
Using new oligo-based technologies, a revolution is underway where they are beginning to catalog the complete genetic makeup of hundreds of living things, ranging from bacteria to humans. The human genome alone contains over 3 billion bases of DNA, so projects of this kind tend to be very complex and often take years to complete.
