Our Mission

Truwl exists to remove computational complexity from genomics and beyond to enable more discovery, simplify adoption of data-intensive molecular technologies, and unleash the power of biology to benefit humanity.

Problem

Capabilities to use computational methods and uncover insights into biology and disease from sequencing data have not kept pace with the ability to collect the data. Truwl is changing this by simplifying how methods are accessed, evaluated, and used.

Strategy

Computational methods for genomics and other data-intensive biological applications are not in a usable form for the majority of the scientific community. The Truwl platform productionizes computational methods so they are ready-to-use from an intuitive web interface in a preconfigured cloud compute environment, so bioinformatics capabilities can spread to researchers of all abilities and enable streamlined, robust, and traceable analyses that lead to faster more high-quality insights.

Who we work with

  • We work with individuals and small labs to share their methods with collaborators and the world.
  • We work with consortia to make methods for consistent data processing available to all members and enable outside researchers to use the same methods to produce comparable results.
  • We work with research organizations to make methods findable and accessible within the organization.
  • We work with sequencing based testing laboratories for bioinformatics workflow optimization, validation, and performance monitoring.
  • We work on a variety of custom bioinformatics projects as partners and consultants. Some projects leverage the Truwl platform, and some do not.

Story

Truwl started out of frustration of trying to reimplement computational methods described in the literature for a cancer genomics project. We spent months combing through methods sections, reading software documentation, and downloading and trying programs without any scientific progress to show for it. We started Truwl to make the sharing of bioinformatics expertise and capabilities more complete, efficient, and accessible so researchers can spend more time on new science and less time reinventing the wheel.
