What they do

Problem

Current DNA sequencing is costly, complex, and incomplete, requiring library preparation and heavy bioinformatics while missing or inaccurately calling difficult genomic regions and variants.

Solution

A next-generation DNA sequencing platform combining novel biochemistry, hardware, and algorithms to directly sequence unprepared single DNA molecules with integrated extraction and high-accuracy, comprehensive variant detection.

Who it's for

Genomics researchers, clinical laboratories, and biotech/pharma teams that need fast, accurate whole-genome sequencing.
