Bionano Genomics
Bionano Genomics is a biotechnology company that specializes in genome mapping and analysis. The company develops and markets the Saphyr system, which is a platform for ultra-sensitive and ultra-specific structural variation detection in DNA. Structural variations are alterations in the DNA structure, such as insertions, deletions, inversions, and translocations, that can be associated with various genetic disorders and diseases, including cancer. Bionano Genomics' Saphyr system uses a technology called optical genome mapping (OGM) to analyze long DNA molecules. OGM allows for the direct visualization and analysis of structural variations in the genome without the need for sequencing. This technology can provide valuable insights into the structural variations in an individual's genome, which can be important for understanding disease mechanisms, and genetic disorders, and for guiding personalized treatment strategies.
Lineagen is a provider of diagnostic and healthcare services focused on complex diseases for which an individual's genetic profiles contribute strongly to their susceptibility. Lineagen is committed to improving outcomes for those affected by autism and other complex diseases, for which effective early diagnosis and intervention can have a significant positive impact. The company's comprehensive genetic testing and support/counseling service are initially designed to enable early evaluation of children at risk for disorders of childhood development, including autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Founded in 2002, Lineagen's commercial strategy represents the culmination of significant proprietary research into genetic causes and diagnostic pathways of key complex diseases, including autism, MS, and COPD. One of the company's core research competitive advantages is its access through the University of Utah to the Utah Population Database, an unmatched biomarker discovery research platform that has been used to help the University identify more disease-related genes than any other institution in the world.
