Company Snapshot
Company Overview
Yikon Genomics Co. Ltd., founded in 2012, is developing and commercializing a single-cell, whole-genome amplification technology licensed from Harvard University.
High-quality amplification is particularly important for clinical applications, because there is a low tolerance for false positives or negatives.
Yikon markets products in three application areas: reproductive health, cancer diagnostics and life science research.
Products for reproductive health include PGS, PGD and NIPT. These products use the MALBAC single cell sequencing technology platform.
