MGI Tech Co., Ltd. (MGI), a leader in life science innovations, announced a new collaboration with OncoDNA, a genomic and theranostic company focused on precision medicine for cancer and genetic disease treatment. The partnership ensures full compatibility between OncoDNA’s OncoDEEP® Kit and MGI’s advanced DNBSEQ™ sequencing platforms.
The OncoDEEP® Kit offers a comprehensive end-to-end workflow, including sequencing, secondary analysis, and interpretation using OncoKDM™. By making the solution technology-neutral, OncoDNA aims to expand setup options for laboratories previously reliant on a single sequencing provider. Now, laboratories can leverage MGI’s DNBSEQ™ technology to perform solid tumor Comprehensive Genomic Profiling (CGP) with enhanced efficiency and accuracy.
DNBSEQ™ technology utilizes DNA nanoballs (DNBs) on Patterned Array chips, improving sequencing accuracy, sensitivity, and reducing amplification bias. This cutting-edge approach aligns with the precision oncology goals of OncoDEEP®, whose CGP panel covers 638 genes across 1.8 Mb. It supports key biomarkers like Tumor Mutational Burden (TMB), Microsatellite Instability (MSI), Loss of Heterozygosity (LOH), and Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD).
Presented at the 36th European Congress of Pathology, the collaboration highlights the OncoDEEP® Kit’s clinical insights on MGI platforms.
“Partnering with MGI strengthens our mission to make precision oncology accessible to all,” said Jean-Pol Detiffe, Founder of OncoDNA. “This collaboration enhances genomic profiling and expands technology options for labs.”
Dr. Yong Hou, GM of MGI EU & Africa, added, “We are proud to support better, faster results with this partnership, offering more applications in somatic genomics.”
