Technology

CircleDNA is powered by the most advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, for accurate results you can trust.

Next Generation Sequencing Technology

Your DNA, your (full) health story

Imagine that every gene is like a book. Traditional genotyping technology analyzes your genes by looking at the equivalent of only a few sentences, knowing what you are looking for – however, you remain unaware of the unknown narrative. With targeted Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we are capable of generating reports that summarize a more comprehensive volume of your health – not just a few sentences.

Why read just a sentence when you can read the whole book?

 

Traditional Genotyping Technology

As an example, recreational tests only look at a few variants of the BRCA 1/2 gene, which creates a high likelihood of producing a false-positive result.

Next Generation Sequencing Technology

Meanwhile, CircleDNA looks at the whole “book” for the BRCA 1/2 gene, covering 5,791 known variants that affect your risk of breast and ovarian cancer.
