VarSome brings together data, technology, and a global community to advance genomic interpretation. The platform integrates more than 140 curated databases, including ClinVar, gnomAD, OncoKB™, and more, together with over 4 million scientific publications. Annotation and insights from over 500K VarSome users add further depth and context. These resources are connected through integration algorithms and an AI layer that transforms raw genomic data into structured, clinically meaningful information.
Saphetor is launched! Our team grows and attends several scientific conferences and technology tradeshows, as well as closely working with pioneering clinical geonmics teams in Switzerland. We are busy developing version 1.0 of our platforms with a view of processing whole genomes at scale and cross-referencing every individual’s data with whatever information is known from decades of research and clinical experience, as well as the information that’s yet to come out.
The year 2016 marks an important step in the evolution of the portfolio of our solutions: VarSome is born. We started adding new genomic resources to VarSome, signed up several important institutional clients and distribution agreements across many European countries, and reached 100,000 users by the end of 2019.
Busy and exciting years! We expanded our network in North America, Asia, Africa, Europe, and Australia. The platform saw the addition of the AMP Classifier for somatic variants and the CNV ACMG Classifier. Saphetor was recognized as one of the Genomics Startups Changing the Future of Healthcare Forever by Forbes. By 2022, VarSome reached over 450,000 unique users and was referenced in over 1,800 published papers.
VarSome has integrated over 140 data sources, making it the world's largest integrated genomic knowledgebase, with more than 500,000 users globally. We started our IVDR certification processes, and by 2024, we were one of the first companies in the industry to receive IVDR Certification for our clinical diagnosis support NGS data analysis platform, VarSome Clinical, ensuring enhanced safety and performance standards.

At Saphetor, we develop platforms that make genomic data clear, consistent, and actionable.
