Pan-cancer Panel
CGP
CGP allows for a better definition of the key gene alterations in different moments of the life of patients with cancer
Obtain an expanded report of biomarkers and genomic signatures that can reveal treatment possibilities for your patients without sacrificing valuable time.

CGP reveals key actionable biomarkers across multiple solid tumor types.

Comprehensive genomic coverage
Small targeted panels provide results on a limited subset of biomarkers. CGP tests more broadly to obtain a more complete set of biomarkers and genomic signatures for each patient tested.
“[CGP] is something that we are doing regularly withour patients and that we know is really crucial fordefining the best treatment strategy.”

AML MRD

Oncology Research

The heterogeneity and dynamism of cancer present formidable challenges to treating the disease. Through an iterative process of mutation and cell expansion, tumors generate genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity, contributing to the complexity of the disease.

scDNA AML MRD panel
The complexity of leukemia clonal architecture and the genotypic and phenotypic drifts during treatment explain why more than half of patients in remission could relapse. Addressing these with single-cell multiomics enables you to go beyond a binary MRD readout to gain crucial biomarker insights.
Precision Medicine

Resolving complex biology at the single cell level is crucial to the understanding of disease and ultimately unlocking novel therapies. While advances have been made in precision medicine, challenges in fully understanding disease profiles at the clonal level and comprehensive characterization of ex vivo cell therapeutics remain.
Genome Editing

Genome engineering techniques, like CRISPR, result in heterogeneous editing outcomes that include variations in zygosity, off-target effects, co-occurring multiplex edits, chromosomal translocations, and changes to genome stability. Measuring these outcomes accurately cannot be done by traditional sequencing without lengthy clonal outgrowth steps and hours of computational work.

Genome integrity
Genome integrity is essential for predicting therapeutic safety and patient outcomes, whether dealing with cell-based therapies or analyzing heterogeneous tumors. Traditional methods for assessing genome stability are often limited by low throughput or time-consuming clonal outgrowth processes.
