OBD and UEA develop test for chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS)
Enabling 3D genomics for precision medicine at scale
The EpiSwitch platform is uniquely capable of reproducibly translating 3D genome regulation for clinical application. This platform opens the doors to a portfolio of clinical smart tests based on EpiSwitch® technology aiming to help people face the most challenging health decisions with confidence and tackle the rising costs of healthcare.
Why 3D GENOMICS?
The genome’s 3D shape is as important as the genetic code it contains.
3D genomics (or “chromosome conformation”) is a fundamental upstream gatekeeper controlling how genes are turned on and off. This highly complex control offers a huge wealth of untapped health information.
Understanding the 3D genome is key to diagnosing disease, predicting drug response & determining health outcomes.
Because 3D genomic markers provide insights into the regulatory controls of the genome, our tests answer important clinical questions where other modalities fail.
The EpiSwitch® platform unlocks this universe of powerful health information.
The EpiSwitch platform maps the regulatory 3D genome at scale.
Whole-body 3D gene regulation from blood
Systemic, early-stage 3D genomic regulatory changes can be captured from peripheral blood, long before the results of these epigenetic changes manifest as observable symptoms.
EpiSwitch blood-based markers have delivered highly accurate and robust predictive, prognostic, and diagnostic assays in oncology, autoimmune, neurological, and infectious disease applications.
We know where to find the drivers of 3D gene regulation.
Whole genome biomarker discovery in high-resolution
Knowing where to look dramatically simplifies the task. We encoded the EpiSwitch Array to simultaneously interrogate 1 million data points — incorporating a radically richer complexity than conventional methods.
Highest sensitivity - cuts through the noise
Built on an Agilent backbone, the EpiSwitch Array measures regulatory 3D architecture with high signal-to-noise ratio, complexity, resolution, and reproducibility, filtering out stochastic noise.
End-to-end bioinformatic tools with low analytical overhead.
Low cost, rapid results
Sample-to-results in a small fraction of the cost and time of sequencing-based methods, with a mature workflow.
Meaningful data
Mapping of 3D genomic markers onto the genome provides a full context for visualization, biological interpretation, and enrichment analyses.
3D genomic markers translated into clinical qPCR tests.
EpiSwitch-powered qPCR assays (MIQE compliant)
OBD has a mature, end-to-end solution for EpiSwitch biomarker discovery, translation and verification of robust clinical qPCR assays. Contact us for expert industrial delivery of 3D-genomic biomarkers.
Only platform delivering commercial 3D genomic tests
The EpiSwitch Platform delivered validated, commercial products to the clinic: EpiSwitch CiRT (Checkpoint inhibitor Response Test) and the EpiSwitch PSE (EpiSwitch Prostate Cancer Detection Test).
Vast, previously untapped data critical for health unlocked by the EpiSwitch platform
When we look at the genome folded in 3D, parts that appear distant can be close together, controlling the activity of each other in a hugely complex, interconnected web.
At OBD, we have decoded this web and compiled the world’s largest knowledgebase of 3D genome regulation, with deep maps for 30+ diseases.
