DNA Integrity 

Understand the Breakome with unbiased genome-wide detection of DNA breaks 

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) occur naturally within cells but also arise from drugs, radiation and defects in DNA repair. Understanding where these breaks occur is fundamental for studying DNA integrity, genome stability and disease.

Originally developed for genome editing, ±õ±·¶Ù±«°ä·¡-²õ±ð±ç® is fundamentally a technology for detecting DSBs, supporting research of the DNA damage response, genotoxicity, cancer, neurodegeneration and beyond.

±õ±·¶Ù±«°ä·¡-²õ±ð±ç® provides unbiased, genome-wide mapping of the Breakome, the complete landscape of DNA DSBs from both endogenous and treatment-induced sources. 

Compatible with a wide range of cell types, including patient-derived cells and iPSCs, the scalable workflow enables researchers to compare multiple conditions in parallel with a rapid turnaround.

Challenges with current approaches:

Traditional genotoxicity assays often rely on costly animal models
