Genomic Vision: Combing stretched DNA
Identifying the genetic basis of disease is only partially addressed by SNP genotyping technologies. Genomic Vision S.A. has developed a complementary technology, dubbed Molecular Combing, that can visualize multiple whole genomes and quantitatively identify DNA substitutions of 1,000 or more bases.
According to Aaron Bensimon, co-founder, chairman and CEO, "more and more data is surfacing showing that polymorphisms are
