Startup Digest: Genetics (January - March 2019)
Hi, habrayuzer. I review American venture rounds, will share with you interesting projects that surprised me and I hope will surprise you.
During the time I follow innovative start-ups, I began to notice a rapid trend in the development of genetics and biotechnology. Biotech startups form that bright, immortal future that I want for my body, and at the current moment I see it as quite possible. Mankind is exactly able to develop replaceable components (organs, vessels, cells) in the next 20-30 years. I have seen: bioenality, exoskeletons, cell banks, stem cell therapy, genetic scissors - and this is a small part of what is already being investigated in China or the United States.

The Chinese are developing gene editing technology to introduce it directly into treatment. The bottom line is, guys, that hereditary, tumor, viral diseases - all this can be treated at the molecular level.
Series A / Feb 6, 2019 / $ 10M

genomicprediction.com / Description on Crunchbase
> Genomic Prediction provides advanced genetic testing for IVF.
The startup has an improved technology for testing the genome of the embryo in order to predict the most healthy genetic makeup. This process is necessary for artificial insemination, which is one of the ways to avoid genetic diseases of partners (well, I don’t want to look for another wife, you can fool nature a little)

gencove.com / Description on Crunchbase
> Gencove's low-pass sequencing platforms delivers whole genome discovery at the cost of genotyping arrays.
Gencove is developing a cost-effective way of sequencing (determining) the genome without going through the whole chain. It turns out that deciphering the entire gene is not at all quick and often not necessary: you can take a part and play with it, hang out, cover yourself with scientific articles.
In addition, they have the technology to capture certain sets of areas that are important in some current study. Clear pricing, fashionable Landos, articles on medium are good hipster scientists.
Series A / Mar 13, 2019 / $ 3M
