What is PowerDNA?

Everything about our traits and secrets are discreetly encrypted in our genes, or commonly known as DNA!

Genes is the basic structure and functioning unit of heredity. It is like a vault that stores a living organism’s unique codes of race, blood type, pregnancy, growth, apoptosis and other processes.

In other words, all life phenomena such as birth, growth, deterioration, disease, aging, and death of organisms are related to genes.

Now, you can decipher your genes, discover about yourself in a new way by using a simple method called Power DNA.

What is genetic testing?

Genetic testing consists of the processes and techniques used to determine details about your DNA. Depending on the test, it may reveal some information about your ancestry and the health of you and your family.

Technology

PowerDNA test is the most complete personal genetic test because it uses Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) that decodes 100% of your DNA. Other targeted tests have been heavily focused towards variants in gene coding regions, but this only looks into approximately 1–2% of your whole genome. WGS offers a more comprehensive analysis than other tests because studies have showed that some important pathogenic variants lying outside gene coding regions where only WGS can detect.

Other DNA tests VS PowerDNA Tests

  1. PowerDNA test is the whole-genome sequencing based DNA test that can detect nearly all types of disease-causing genetic variants in one single test.
  2. Best-in-class findings and recommendations powered by the UK biobank, Singapore cohort and 1000 human genome project, curated by our scientists team.
  3. In-house health coach consultation and genetic counselling are provided

Our laboratory ( accuracy & database )

Our laboratory utilises NovaSeqTM 6000 systems, manufactured in the USA, by Illumina — the number one global market leader in DNA sequencing equipment. The equipment is highly sensitive that is capable to do specific detection of SNVs, InDels, SVs including CNVs, and mtDNA variants and provides uniform coverage of the entire nuclear genome and mitochondrial genome covered at mean sequencing depth of ≥5x.
