Resolving Genomic Complexity with a Superior Reference
The Benthic Advantage:
A Multi-tool Platform
Our platform's performance originates from our proprietary pan-immune reference graph and our ability to leverage that graph for both assembly and variant calling, representing a significant improvement over widely available workflows.
Unprecedented Diversity and Detail
Our graph-based pan-immune reference was developed using thousands of short-read samples and incorporating several hundred high-resolution, long-read phased haplotypes of the MHC, NKC, and LRC immune regions. This provides a more comprehensive and higher-quality reference than other available resources.
Advanced Graph-Based Algorithms
Our algorithms for assembly, alignment, imputation, and phasing are specifically designed to navigate the complexity captured in our reference graph – delivering superior analytics and highly accurate allele calling and interpretation.
A Continually Improving Platform
Our reference is not static. It is regularly enriched by the integration of new long-read and short-read samples. This systematic expansion improves the accuracy and comprehensiveness of subsequent results, ensuring your analysis uses the most relevant and advanced reference available for your population of interest.
The Result: Superior Performance Where It Matters Most
Our unique technological foundation translates directly into superior performance across all major genotyping platforms, including microarray, short-read NGS, and long-read sequencing.

Benthic technology is built for highly polymorphic, hard-to-map immune regions where standard methods lose signal. Across microarray, short-read, and long-read data, we recover meaningful variation in the parts of the genome that matter most.
