South Korea's Hancom Carelink, a digital health care company under Hancom Group, on Wednesday said it bought an unspecified stake in the bio big data analysis company 3Bigs.

The investment amount and stake were not disclosed, but industry experts say the transaction was worth billions of won.

3Bigs possesses know-how in analysis of bio big data. The company runs 3X-K Bank, a platform linking over 70 public bio databases; 3X-T Miner, a data provider that analyzes more than 30 million theses covered by the Science Citation Index Expanded; and 3X-M Omics, a multi-omics data analysis platform that converges information such as that on genome and protein clusters through next-generation sequencing.

In the first quarter this year, Hancom Carelink and 3bigs will roll out a health management platform based on microbiome, which is dubbed the “second genome.”
