We think the combination of our in-house software and CLC bio's enterprise platform will help propel us quickly to a position as the leading Japanese sequencing service provider!"

In addition to establishing a sequencing service center, World Fusion also functions as CLC bio Japan's integration partner, assisting CLC bio Japan's expansion into the Japanese market.
