FOR INVESTORS

Natural Language Cancer Genomics

BioQuery™ lets researchers ask questions about cancer genomics in plain English and get publication-ready answers in seconds.

The Problem

Cancer researchers waste 3-4 hours answering simple questions that should take seconds.

Traditional Workflow

  • Navigate multiple databases
  • Learn each tool's interface
  • Export data, write code
  • Generate and format figures
  • Write methods section

3-4 hours

With BioQuery

  • Type question in plain English
  • Get answer, figure, methods text
  • Download publication-ready PDF
  • Share via permalink

30 seconds

Proprietary Technology

🧠

Hybrid AI Architecture

Two-phase parsing system combines LLM flexibility with deterministic execution. Natural language in, reproducible results out — no hallucinations.

Patent-pending approach

🔗

Unified Data Integration

Seamless access to 11 major genomics databases representing 185,000+ patient samples. Smart routing selects optimal data sources automatically.

4x larger cohorts for specialized cancers

📊

Query Card™ Format

Every analysis produces a reproducible, citable unit with interactive figures, statistical methods, and transparent SQL queries.

Why Anthropic/OpenAI Won't Build This

A common concern: "What if Anthropic or OpenAI just releases this themselves?"

If BioQuery were just "ask questions about data in plain English," this would be a real threat. But general-purpose AI tools can't replicate what we've built:

Domain-Specific Data Integration

We've integrated TCGA, TARGET, GTEx, CCLE, CPTAC, and GENIE through ISB-CGC BigQuery. Anthropic builds general tools, not cancer genomics data pipelines.

Scientific Validity Layer

Our analysis modules encode actual biostatistics: survival analysis, differential expression with multiple testing correction, 33K+ MSigDB signatures. Domain expertise in software, not prompt engineering.

Query Cards as Workflow

Reproducible, shareable analysis units with methods text for grants is a specific product format, not a general capability.

Right Abstraction Level

Cancer researchers don't want SQL or Python. They want answers with figures for papers. That's a specific product, not a general AI feature.

The Real Question

Would a cancer researcher get the same value from Claude + BigQuery directly?

Today

No — they'd need to know schemas, write statistical code, generate proper visualizations.

In 2 Years

Maybe the gap narrows, but domain-specific data curation and scientific workflow design aren't what Anthropic optimizes for.

Our moat: The biology, the data relationships, the researcher workflow, and the community — not the AI wrapper.
