10x Genomics is creating revolutionary DNA sequencing technology to help researchers better identify subtle variations that are overlooked by technologies that shred biological samples into tiny fragments before sequencing the short stretches and using computers to assembling them into a genome.
23andMe is a human genome research company enabling users to study their ancestry, genealogy, and inherited traits. A startup co-founded by Linda Avey and Anne Wojcicki, the wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, 23andMe has plans to make the human genome searchable. Brin, along with Google, gave 23andMe $3.9 million as part of a series A in May of 2007. The company was named after the number of chromosome pairs in humans. They aim to help people understand what their genes mean by indexing them and highlighting significant findings. 23andMe allows its clients/users to study their ancestry, genealogy and inherited traits. The company also markets to researchers and scientists, for whom they provide neatly categorized and easily searchable data. One reason the Google investment in 23andMe made sense was that this company could enable the search giant to index another facet of the world's information. With the Biotech and Health Care industries growing rapidly, 23andMe could help Google get and maintain a market hold in these already multi-billion dollar areas.
A-Alpha Bio is a provider of cell-based tools for quantitative and high-throughput measurements of protein interactions, accelerating target discovery, library screening, and preclinical drug characterization. A-Alpha Bio utilizes its proprietary AlphaSeq technology to map protein-protein interactions at a high scale and resolution. This technology can identify and quantify interactions between thousands of protein pairs simultaneously. By providing detailed maps of protein interactions, A-Alpha Bio aids in the identification of potential drug targets and the understanding of disease mechanisms. This can significantly streamline the process of discovering new therapeutics. A-Alpha Bio is a team of synthetic biologists, structural biologists, and next-generation sequencing experts who have come together to remove this industry-wide bottleneck.
