Cosa fa XGenomes
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.

XGenomes
Building the sequencing technology of the future
We are building a DNA sequencing platform that sequences directly on unmodified single DNA molecules, with zero library preparation. Our technology integrates DNA extraction with sequencing and reads both strands simultaneously for high accuracy. It produces complete sequences covering structural variants and repetitive regions that current methods miss, and aims to lower consumable costs below $10.
We live and work in Boston and Cambridge, MA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
We chose Boston and Cambridge because of the rich biotech ecosystem and access to top scientific and engineering talent needed for developing novel sequencing technology.
