The collaboration will initially focus on generating predictive data for patients with an undiagnosed immune dysfunction condition. Researchers at OMI will look to identify putative biomarkers and demonstrate how an integrated omics approach can improve sensitivity, accuracy and specificity of complex immune illness diagnosis, and potentially guide therapeutic decision making. The study will also use machine learning and additional big data analysis techniques to identify clinically relevant patterns of gene expression in single cells, as well as relationships between disparate-omic data types and single-cell expression patterns. Following the pilot project, the two organizations will explore a clinical laboratory developed test assay service that will be offered by the OMI CLIA laboratory.

“The 1CellBio inDrop System has shown to be a highly flexible, high-throughput scRNA-seq platform that provides enhanced experimental control and more actionable information compared to other existing platforms,” said Andreas Kogelnik, MD, PhD, Founder, The Open Medicine Institute. “This collaboration adds another dimension to our large-scale multi-omics data integration and clinical application practice, especially for the large number of our patients with undiagnosed immune dysfunction and inflammatory conditions, as well as other areas.”

Just to note that the Open Medicine Institute is not the same as the Open Medicine Foundation, I mention it as I've seen confusion about that before.

Does anyone know whether this is used for ME patients?

Their website says

The Open Medicine Clinic is a leader in practicing precision medicine in the era of big data. Our physicians and other providers offer clinical services in the following areas:

Unexplained/Difficult Cases

Genomic Medicine

General Internal Medicine

Infectious Diseases and HIV

Diet and Nutrition Consultation

Immunology

We are a fee-for-service clinic adjacent to the Open Medicine Institute. On site services include:

IV Infusion services

Stress/VO2 max testing (via OMI)

Lab draw services (via OMI)

SIBO testing, and more

We see adult and pediatric patients

So it's not clear from that, although the MD on site, https://me-pedia.org/wiki/Andreas_Kogelnik, is involved in ME research and is on the OMF board. OMI aren't a dedicated ME-only organisation though.
