Portfolio highlights

• Grove — Grove is a Riyadh-based company building technology for freshness in the fresh-produce sector. Grove connects farms, markets, and households through an integrated, demand-driven operating system that coordinates planning, quality, logistics, and service as one loop. Demand signals from multiple channels are unified to guide upstream decisions andensure every grade of produce has an optimal path to market. Quality is treated as a managed process across the chain—not a final inspection—so produce reaches consumers ripe, flavorful, and reliable.

Portfolio highlights

• Eat Just — Plant protein with clean ingredients. Better for the people & the planet.
• Mustadem — Mustadem is a tech-enabled agribusiness in Saudi Arabia specializing in sustainable agricultural farming. It produces premium fruits, vegetables, and fish using hydroponics, aquaponics, and indoor aquaculture technologies. It also provides agricultural services, consultancy, and fresh food supply to restaurants and consumers. Mustadem is alsoinvolved in food value chains sustainability projects, such as insect feed and nanobubbles technologies. Insect feed produces animal feed from insects that can consume organic waste and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and land use. Nanobubbles are tiny bubbles of gas that can improve water quality and oxygen levels in aquaculture systems. These technologies can help Mustadem achieve its vision of transforming the food sector into a more sustainable and transparent industry.
• Spiral Genetics — Spiral Genetics offers advanced bioinformatics tools for population analysis, structural variant detection, and data compression.Anchored Assembly accurately detects SNPs, indels, and structural variants ranging from 10bp to 100kbp. Anchored Assembly uses data from HiSeq and MiSeq without special library prep. You can detect structural variantsusing your existing data. We optimize Anchored Assembly to ensure a very low false positive rate and reliably detect your variants at the rate that you produce data.How does Anchored Assembly work? Spiral’s Anchored Assembly uses direct, de novo read overlap assembly to accurately detect SNPs, indels, and structural variants. Application of read overlap assembly to high-coverage whole genome data is a challenge because of its computational demands. Anchored Assembly reduces this computational complexity by focusing analysis on non-reference sequence regions. We map variant sequences to specific genome locations by “anchoring”, or matching the ends of the assembled variant, to unique sequences present in the reference genome. Assembly begins from these reference-anchored reads and traverses variant regions by constructing a read overlap graph.Anchored Asssembly is available via Cloud or Cluster.Features include: Read Alignment (BWA, Bowtie and T-Map), SNPs and Indels (SOAP and Maq), Assembly Based Variant Detection, Effect Prediction, Associated Gene and Pathways, Associated Phenotypes and Disease, KEGG, OMIM, LOVD and PharmGKB Links, Ensembl Browser Display, Upload/Download Common Data Formats, Cloud and Cluster Versions, Ion Torrent Plugin to stream data directly to Spiral Cloud
