(Reuters) - Qiagen is to collaborate with Sophia Genetics on its next-generation sequencing (NGS) kits, the US-German pharmaceutical company said on Wednesday.

The alliance, part of Qiagen's Qiqseq platform partnership program, aims to increase the compatibility of its NGS kits with third-party digital data-sharing and analytics companies.

"The partnership with Sophia Genetics is planned to be expanded to other areas of analysis," it added.
