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.

Active Motif Chromeon provides innovative fluorescent reagents for Life Science research applications including several lines of fluorescent chromophores the Chromeo Dyes, RuLabels and Py-Dyes. Chromeo Dye excitation and emission properties match common excitation sources and filter sets, ideal for microscopy and plate-based assays. RuLabels are phosphorescent ruthenium probes that emit strongly polarized light with a long decay time, which enhances sensitivity and reduces background. The Py-Dyes possess unique physical and spectral properties that make conjugation simple, while reatly reducing background. As alternative to organic dyes, a set of bright and biocompatible fluorescent nanoparticles is offered. They represent excellent tools for increasing the sensitivity of your assays.

Adaptimmune develops T cell therapies to treat cancer, human immunodeficiency virus, and infectious diseases. It utilizes the T cell to target and destroys cancerous or infected cells by using affinity T cell receptor proteins as a means of strengthening patient T cell responses. The company was incorporated in 2007 and is based in Abingdon, United Kingdom.

Adaptive Biotechnologies is a commercial-stage company advancing the field of immune-driven medicine by harnessing the inherent biology of the adaptive immune system to transform the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Its clinical diagnostic product, clone-SEQ, is a test authorized by the FDA for the detection and monitoring of minimal residual disease in patients with select blood cancers. It was founded in 2009 and headquartered in Seattle, Washington.
