The US$ 25B Applied Genetic Testing market is undergoing a significant transformation. Rapid advances in Data Science, widespread Cloud Computing, and decentralized testing technologies are reshaping industry practices. Beyond public policy and regulations, generative AI and ML pipelines are emerging as key players, presenting both risks and opportunities.
At Biosecure ID, we adopt a holistic, systems-thinking approach to develop solutions that appeal to both Western economies and the Global South, ensuring we co-evolve with the communities we serve.
Accurate and rapid DNA analysis is crucial but often hindered by outdated technology, leading to delays and errors in critical cases like forensic investigations and rapid identification. Rape Crisis UK reports that only 5% of victims report crimes, and globally, only 20% of the 2.5 million reported rape cases undergo DNA evidence analysis. Significant challenges exist, including gaps in sample collection, storage, and transport, the high cost of setting up and operating forensic labs (Footnotes 1, 2), and a shortage of skilled analysts.
While this issue varies by region, addressing these gaps is essential.
Footnotes
Monitoring and maintaining animal health through genetic testing is vital for preventing disease outbreaks and ensuring the well-being of livestock. However, current methods can be slow and imprecise, affecting productivity and animal welfare.
Coming Soon
Assessing environmental impact through genetic markers is increasingly important, yet existing processes are often inefficient and costly, leading to gaps in data and delayed action on environmental issues.
Enhancing crop yields and resilience through genetic testing is a key goal for modern agriculture. The challenge lies in integrating sophisticated genomic data into practical applications, making it accessible and useful for farmers.
Coming Soon
Efficiently managing agricultural waste and optimizing feed through genetic insights is essential for sustainability. Current approaches can be labour-intensive and not fully effective, resulting in resource wastage and increased costs.
Coming Soon
Our innovative solution addresses these challenges by offering affordable, accurate, and efficient genetic testing tools that enhance performance, reliability, and sustainability in critical areas.
Applied Genetic Testing utilises a common technology stack for DNA/RNA detection and analysis. Our goal is to develop a multimodal solution for broader Applied Markets ecosystem, however our starting applications will be in human identification and DNA biometrics (HID) – a $1.2B opportunity.
HID market is moving towards Point of Contact DNA testing, with DNA can result in rapid ID of persons of interest at the border control, at scene of crime to collect case intelligence and many use cases where real-time intelligence can result in case investigations. Many countries are upgrading their disparate biometric systems into a combined multi-modal biometric platforms with deep learning algorithms for different use cases. UDAP’s aim will be to evolve as the DNA testing algorithms mature for target use cases and the regulatory and privacy framework across the globe.
Applied Markets customers demand a value proposition that seamlessly blends cutting-edge innovation with exceptional data quality, sensitivity, and specificity for DNA targets—all on a cost-effective platform. Our solution ensures consistent, reliable results, whether you’re handling small or large batch sizes.
UDAP’s core technologies are built on proven DNA purification, amplification, detection, and analysis techniques. Our vision for the UDAP platform is to provide sample-to-insights in under 30 minutes at a cost equal to or lower than current lab-based tests.
The advent of Generative AI and bespoke LLMs will be transformative. We are closely monitoring this space, engaging with the community to align technology with market needs while addressing potential misuse and protecting individual rights.
