Ultima Genomics Selected to Support the World's Largest Proteomics Studies to Date Led by Regeneron Genetics Center

Yahoo26-06-2025
FREMONT, Calif., June 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ultima Genomics, a developer of an innovative new ultra-high throughput sequencing architecture, today announced that its UG 100 ™ sequencing platform has been selected to support Regeneron Genetics Center® (RGC™) and its recently launched U.S. large-scale proteomics study. The study, comprised of 200,000 blood serum samples secured by RGC from its long-standing research collaboration with Geisinger Health System, will be combined with the recently announced UK Biobank Pharma Proteomics Project, the largest proteomics study undertaken to date, which will also utilize Ultima's UG 100 sequencing platform for the analysis of 600,000 samples from UK consented participants. Combined, these studies reflect the growing role of high-throughput, cost-efficient sequencing in enabling large-scale counting applications across proteomics and other emerging omics fields.
For these efforts, RGC will utilize the Olink Explore HT platform and Ultima's UG 100 platform. Ultima's technology was selected for its scalability, efficiency, and suitability for large population-level studies requiring high-throughput data generation.
"We are pleased to continue supporting the ever-expanding large-scale proteomics studies that have the potential to drive important scientific and clinical insights," said Gilad Almogy, founder and CEO of Ultima Genomics. "These RGC proteomics studies build on the growing momentum we are seeing for population-scale proteomics and counting applications powered by Ultima's sequencing platform."

Sinclair launches strategic review of broadcast unit, weighs spinoff of Ventures

(Reuters) -Sinclair said on Monday its board has authorized a strategic review of the company's broadcast business and it is considering a separation of its Ventures portfolio, sending its shares up 15% in extended trading. The review comes as media companies are exploring options for their cable TV businesses, as audiences rapidly abandon linear TV in favor of streaming platforms. Sinclair owns, operates and provides services to 178 television stations in 81 markets. The Ventures portfolio is comprised of Sinclair's private equity and real-estate assets, a cable network that includes coverage of most of tennis' top tournaments called the Tennis Channel, as well as its ad tech unit, Digital Remedy. "We expect separating Ventures will crystallize significant value that the market has overlooked within our current structure, giving us even more flexibility to drive our broadcast strategy forward," CEO Chris Ripley said. The Ventures business made nearly $11 million in minority investments during the second quarter. The company cautioned that the strategic review may not result in any transaction or change. For the quarter ended June 30, Sinclair's total revenues decreased 5% to $784 million.

Trump meets with Intel CEO after demanding he resign

US President Donald Trump on Monday said he had a "very interesting" meeting with the chief of US chip maker Intel, just days after calling for his resignation. Trump said on his Truth Social platform that he met with Lip-Bu Tan along with Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent. "The meeting was a very interesting one," Trump said in the post. "His success and rise is an amazing story." Trump added that members of his cabinet are going to spend time with Tan and bring the president "suggestions" next week. Intel did not respond to a request for comment. Trump demanded last week that the recently-hired boss of Intel resign "immediately," after a Republican senator raised national security concerns over his links to firms in China. "The CEO of INTEL is highly CONFLICTED and must resign, immediately. There is no other solution to this problem," Trump posted on Truth Social last Thursday. Tan released a statement at the time saying that the company was engaged with the Trump administration to address the concerns raised and ensure officials "have the facts." Intel is one of Silicon Valley's most iconic companies but its fortunes have been dwarfed by Asian powerhouses TSMC and Samsung, which dominate the made-to-order semiconductor business. In a statement, Tan said there has been "a lot of misinformation circulating" about his past roles at Walden International and Cadence Design Systems. "I have always operated within the highest legal and ethical standards," Tan said. The Malaysia-born tech industry veteran took the helm at struggling Intel in March, announcing layoffs as White House tariffs and export restrictions muddied the market. Intel's niche has been chips used in traditional computing processes, which are steadily being eclipsed by the AI revolution. gc/bjt Sign in to access your portfolio

Texas businessmen indicted for allegedly bribing officials at Mexico's Pemex

By Stefanie Eschenbacher MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -Two Texas businessmen were indicted for allegedly bribing officials at Mexico's state energy company Pemex with $150,000 and luxury items to secure contracts, the U.S. Justice Department announced on Monday. Between 2019 and 2021, Ramon Rovirosa and Mario Avila, both Mexican citizens and U.S. lawful permanent residents, conspired to pay bribes to officials at Pemex and its exploration and production arm, known as PEP, according to an indictment unsealed in the Southern District of Texas. Rovirosa is also alleged to have ties to Mexican cartel members, the Department of Justice said in a statement. Rovirosa, 46, was arraigned while Avila, 61, remains at large. Reuters was unable to immediately contact the lawyers for Rovirosa and Avila. Pemex did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Together with co-conspirators, Rovirosa and Avila allegedly paid bribes in the form of cash and luxury goods, including from Louis Vuitton and Hublot, to at least three Pemex and PEP officials. In exchange, those Pemex officials are accused of helping companies associated with Rovirosa obtain contracts worth at least $2.5 million, the statement said. Mexico and its ailing state company Pemex have for decades been awash with corruption, with several former senior officials facing charges, including former Chief Executive Officer Emilio Lozoya. Lozoya, in turn, has accused ex-presidents Felipe Calderon and Carlos Salinas of corruption, along with former President Enrique Pena Nieto, his ex-finance minister, Luis Videgaray, and more than a dozen others. Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who was Mexican president during the time covered in the indictment, had vowed to root out the corruption that had plagued the country and its most important company for decades. Even so, Mexico's corruption ranking slipped. Rovirosa and Avila are each charged with one count of conspiracy to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and three substantive violations of it. The act makes it illegal for citizens, U.S. companies, or foreign persons and businesses in the United States to pay foreign officials to win business. Sign in to access your portfolio
