All commercial and research samples received by the laboratory are processed by using the EsoGuard 2.0 assay.
Increasing demand for personalized diagnosis and cancer treatment is anticipated to fuel the DNA and gene chip market in the coming years. There is a high demand for personalized medicines that are tailored to the genetic profile of individual patients, due to the increasing understanding of the genetic basis of diseases.
In September 2023, Illumina, Inc. collaborated with 54gene to advance precision medicine capabilities in Africa through research, advanced molecular diagnostics, and clinical programs. This partnership supports the establishment of a new genetics facility in Lagos, Nigeria that is equipped with a suite of the cutting-edge sequencing and high-density microarray technology platforms by Illumina, Inc. This is expected to generate genetic information for health research and drug development.
Increasing demand for next generation sequencing (NGS) hinders the DNA and gene chip market. NGS is not yet able to completely replace microarrays in cytogenetics and diagnostics, owing to the relatively high price and stagnant rate of clinical implementation. However, strict regulatory scenarios and entry barriers for start-up companies hamper the DNA and chip market.
Increasing collaborations and strategic partnerships among companies is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market players. Several companies are partnering and collaborating to develop new technologies that boost the market. Advances in DNA microarrays have resulted in the expansion of their application in biomedicine applications. Vendors are partnering in the development of new solutions for the analysis of microarray-generated data to simplify biomedicine applications of array technology.
In June 2022, Avesthagen Limited entered into a four-year strategic alliance with Wipro Limited to make its genetic testing portfolio commercial. The portfolio includes genome panels that offer highly specific and disease-centric analysis for conditions, including neurodegenerative diseases, cancers, autoimmune disorders, and rare disease conditions.
