Fathom Genomics harnesses the depth of next-generation sequencing to identify pathogens with precision, speed, and clarity — at any scale.
A streamlined four-step pipeline built for clinical and research laboratories.
Securely upload raw FASTQ or BAM files directly through the platform or via API integration with your sequencer.
Automated QC removes low-quality reads and host contamination, isolating the pathogen signal with high confidence.
Reads are aligned against our curated, continuously updated reference database spanning bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.
Interactive dashboards surface abundance profiles, resistance markers, and clinical flags — exportable for downstream analysis.
Every component of the Fathom platform is engineered for sensitivity and speed in high-stakes sequencing environments.
End-to-end encryption, SOC 2-aligned infrastructure, and role-based access controls keep genomic data protected at every layer.
Cloud-native compute scales elastically to your sample volume, delivering results in hours rather than days.
Visualize taxonomic composition, read depth, and quality metrics through intuitive, shareable visual reports.
Identify antimicrobial resistance genes alongside pathogen classification to support treatment-decision workflows.
RESTful APIs and LIMS integrations let Fathom slot seamlessly into existing laboratory and bioinformatics pipelines.
Team-based project management with audit logs, sample tracking, and configurable notification workflows.
Fathom Genomics was founded on a single conviction: that next-generation sequencing should be as interpretable as it is powerful. Traditional culture-based diagnostics miss the complexity of polymicrobial infections and novel pathogens. Metagenomic NGS changes that — and Fathom makes it accessible.
Our platform was developed by computational biologists, clinical microbiologists, and software engineers who understand both the biology and the operational demands of modern diagnostic and research labs. Every algorithm, every interface element, every data-export format was designed with the scientist in mind.
Whether you run a hospital clinical laboratory, a public health surveillance program, or a translational research group, Fathom scales to your workflow and grows with your questions.
