Arima Genomics
Genomics company specializing in 3D genome analysis and chromatin biology, providing Hi-C and related technologies for understanding spatial genome organization.
Notes
Arima Genomics is a San Diego-based genomics company focused on 3D genome analysis and understanding the spatial organization of chromatin. The company provides Hi-C kits and services that enable researchers to study how the genome is organized in three-dimensional space, which has important implications for understanding gene regulation, disease mechanisms, and genome assembly.
Arima's technology enables the study of long-range chromatin interactions, topologically associated domains (TADs), and chromosome conformation. Their products are used in research applications ranging from basic genome biology to clinical research in cancer, developmental disorders, and other diseases.
The company's Hi-C technology is also used for de novo genome assembly and scaffolding, helping to generate high-quality reference genomes for various species.
