“Ultrasensitive Genetic Detection: Below One-In-One-Million”

TwinStrand is a science-first genomics company based around Duplex Sequencing, an ultra-sensitive DNA analysis technology designed to improve cancer diagnostics. We use a combination of specialized biochemistry and powerful cloud-based computation to improve the accuracy of existing DNA sequencers by more than 10,000-fold. This unprecedented resolution lets us solve a variety of clinically actionable oncologic ‘needle in a haystack’ problems such as early detection of cancer, monitoring for residual tumor cells after therapy and identification of new chemicals and environmental exposures that put people at risk for cancer. We make it possible for researchers to see faint signals that were previously hidden, to help our collective effort to reduce global burden of cancer.

Ultrasensitive Minimal Residual Disease Detection By Duplex Sequencing

Abstract
Duplex Sequencing enables an unprecedented level of NGS accuracy, with error rates below one-in-ten-million. The technology is ideally suited to detection of residual cancer (MRD), where lingering tumor cells are vastly outnumbered by normal cells. Here we present Duplex Sequencing-based MRD data from three clinical studies in acute myeloid leukemia.
