Loop Genomics is a company that has developed a platform technology for long-read DNA sequencing, allowing short-read DNA sequencers to perform high-throughput, long-read sequencing. Founded in 2015, the company offers test kits and services that provide comprehensive genomic analysis for research, diagnostics, and industrial applications. Their technology enables the profiling of the microbiome, characterization of polymorphisms in HLA genes, and mapping of viral genetic variability. Loop Genomics' approach involves tagging DNA/RNA molecules with barcodes and assembling them back into longer molecules, providing highly accurate, single molecule long-read data. Their services include sequencing and data analysis, and they leverage existing short-read infrastructure for cost-effective and efficient genetic analysis.
