EpiCypher’s new bioinformatics platform, powered by DNAnexus, accelerates data analysis for leading chromatin mapping technologies including CUT&RUN and CUT&Tag.

DURHAM, N.C., November 10, 2025 / Biotech Newswire / -- EpiCypher®, a pioneer in chromatin mapping technologies and reagents and the leading manufacturer of CUT&RUN and CUT&Tag assays, today announced the launch of CUTANA® Cloud, a secure, user-friendly bioinformatics platform designed to streamline analysis of high-throughput chromatin mapping assays such as CUT&RUN and CUT&Tag, as well as future applications such as ATAC-seq. As a platform that democratizes access to state-of-the-art pipelines for chromatin profiling analysis, CUTANA® Cloud enables biologists to rapidly process data from these assays without the need for advanced computational expertise.
CUTANA® Cloud is currently available in the US only.
Empowering Biologists with Fast, Accessible Epigenomic Analysis
Epigenomics helps researchers understand why genes turn on or off, the key to unlocking how cells function, respond to their environment, and drive disease. By mapping the chemical and structural changes that shape chromatin, such as histone modifications and transcription factor binding, epigenomic research reveals the regulatory mechanisms controlling gene expression. These insights are transforming biomedical science, fueling the discovery of new drug targets, biomarkers, and precision treatment strategies.
Built on the DNAnexus precision health platform, EpiCypher’s CUTANA® platform provides access to scalable compute resources in an environment with enterprise-grade security. Together, EpiCypher and DNAnexus are working to empower biologists to step out of the months-long bioinformatics queue and independently move from sequencing data to actionable biological insights in hours – accelerating breakthroughs in fundamental research and drug development.
“EpiCypher is proud to offer CUTANA® Cloud to chromatin and genomic researchers nationwide,” said Keith Maier, Associate Director of Product Development at EpiCypher. “With its intuitive, cloud-based chromatin profiling analysis workflows, wet-lab researchers can rapidly complete secondary analysis and assess experimental success without waiting weeks to months for bioinformatic support.”
DNAnexus currently supports more than 60,000 registered users across 48 countries and actively manages more than 125 petabytes of complex clinical, genomic, proteomic, and other multiomic datasets on behalf of a growing network of collaborators. DNAnexus’ comprehensive platform meets the most rigorous industry standards for precision health data quality, security, privacy, and regulatory compliance.
“Our collaboration with EpiCypher exemplifies the DNAnexus commitment to working closely with our partners to pioneer new innovations and transform life sciences,” said Kristy Cloyd-Warwick, SVP, Customer Experience at DNAnexus. “Together, we’re empowering researchers to explore the epigenetic mechanisms that control gene regulation, and to turn those discoveries into better treatments and improved patient outcomes.”
