Making Genome Sequencing Tests Accessible to All

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is an ideal choice for researchers and healthcare professionals for testing genetic disorders due to its ability to detect various disease-causing genetic variants in a single test by sequencing the entire protein-coding and non-coding regions of the genome. However, despite its potential, WGS is not easily accessible and is not a gold standard yet.

Dante Genomics, a leading global genomics and precision medicine company, aims to bridge this inaccessibility gap and make WGS accessible to everyone. The company leverages WGS technology and variant interpretation to help consumers and healthcare specialists make informed decisions about their/patient’s health.

“We make whole genome sequencing tests accessible and affordable to everyone,” says Francesco Pennelli, senior director of marketing, Dante Genomics.

Dante Genomics has numerous sequencing centers worldwide in Europe, the U.S., and the United Arab Emirates that use highly advanced genomics software, Avanti, to interpret the data from genome sequencing tests. The intuitive web-based DNA raw data analysis platform can analyze hundreds of gigabytes of genomic data and transform it into insightful and actionable reports within minutes. Avanti generates more than 100 reports daily, from clinical panels to nutrition and fitness reporting.

Healthcare specialists can easily sign up to Avanti by entering their email address and password to transform next-generation sequencing (NGS) raw data into insightful and clear reports. Without downloading or deploying any software into their systems, practitioners—with an easy login to a web-based app—can upload raw DNA data and obtain reports per their patient’s needs.

Avanti’s pricing model is also straightforward. Practitioners can pay per analysis without any upfront costs, subscriptions, or cancellation fees.

Individuals who wish to have their genome sequenced to make better health decisions can purchase tests online with no shipping cost. They can collect their blood sample in an easy, painless, and aseptic way with Dante Genomics’ straightforward explanatory video. Once it receives samples, the company provides individuals with easily comprehensible reports within a few weeks, which are accessible to them throughout their life. In other words, customers sequence their genomes once in their life and have genomic data available at any time.

Individuals can also share these reports with their doctor and receive an expert opinion about their health condition. These reports help them understand how the person is predisposed to develop any condition or disease, allowing individuals to act accordingly in their daily life to prevent this development. For example, a cardiologist got his genome sequenced and found his lipid profile (cholesterol in his blood result) is the mutation he inherited from his parents. This helped him make the necessary changes in his dietary habits to stay fit.

The genomic data by Dante Genomics provides doctors with a unique tool and the information to treat and prevent some deadly diseases in the best way possible. The company continually makes efforts to engage more people and spread awareness about the benefits of genome sequencing tests. Dante Genomics believes genome sequencing tests will be the gold standard within the genomic industry in the coming years and continues to work toward making WGS technology accessible to all.
