Company details

At XGenomes, we are building a technology comprising novel biochemistry, hardware and algorithms for sequencing DNA. Our product will be streamlined: there is zero library preparation; we sequence directly on unadulterated single molecules of DNA; DNA extraction will be integrated with sequencing; there is no bioinformatics bottleneck. The sequence we produce will be of unprecedented accuracy due to several layers of in-built redundancy including the sequencing both strands of the double-helix concurrently. The sequence we produce will be complete, encompassing: structural as well as single nucleotide variants; long-range haplotype phase; the repetitive "dark matter" of the genome. The cost of goods (consumables) of sequencing will be <$10, which will allow us to price our product at a level that will help grow the market while still achieving >90% margin. We will start by offering access as a service to high value customers, which be followed by a razor and blade model of selling instruments and consumables.

Pro

Upgrade to Pro, then request the XGenomes teardown.

This company does not have a completed analysis yet. Choose a Pro plan first, then use one of your 5 monthly research requests to have our agent investigate XGenomes. The full teardown, rebuild plan, and technical specs unlock when it lands.

  • Use Pro to request the first XGenomes teardown and keep the finished report in your account.
  • Read every completed teardown and rebuild plan already in the database.
  • Unlock implementation-ready technical specs and 5 fresh research requests each month.

Choose your Pro plan

$20/ month

Find one worth rebuilding, get the teardown, open the implementation-ready specs, and use fresh report requests when you want deeper research.
