Meet the lat­est ge­nom­ic da­ta com­pa­ny — aka WuXi NextCODE with­out the Chi­na op­er­a­tions

Just five years af­ter WuXi en­gi­neered a deal to merge its genome cen­ter with NextCODE Health, the WuXi NextCODE brand is be­com­ing his­to­ry as the com­pa­ny cuts off the Chi­nese op­er­a­tions and fo­cus­es on the US, Ice­land and Ire­land.

The new name, Ge­nu­ity Sci­ence, eras­es all ref­er­ences to WuXi NextCODE’s sto­ried his­to­ry. The US and Ice­land of­fices of the ge­nomics com­pa­ny were spun out of de­CODE Ge­net­ics af­ter it got ac­quired by Am­gen — with its own twists and turns. Its $400 mil­lion ex­pan­sion in­to Ire­land took place in late 2018, com­plete with the ac­qui­si­tion of Ge­nomics Med­i­cine Ire­land.
