Products and services

• Anonymous Paternity Tests (Anonymné testy otcovstva) DNA-based paternity testing service that confirms or refutes biological father-child relationships with nearly 100% certainty. Testing is conducted anonymously for individuals and clinical partners.
• Clinical Genetic Tests (Genetické testy / DNA testy) Clinical diagnostic genetic tests utilizing next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology and standard fragment analysis methods through capillary electrophoresis. Provided by experts with long-term experience in molecular genetics for clinical diagnostics and healthcare providers.
• Bioinformatics Analyses (Bioinformatické analýzy) Specialized bioinformatics analyses for clinical diagnostics including sequencing data analysis, variant analysis, viral analysis, and transcriptomic analyses, with custom-designed analysis tools and pipelines for clinical and research partners.
• NIPT Test – Non-Invasive Prenatal Test for Fetal Genomic Disorders Non-invasive prenatal test that detects genomic disorders of the fetus from maternal blood samples, presenting a safe alternative to invasive methods with no risk to the fetus or mother. Reanalyzed across 5,018 patients to evaluate CNV aberrations in the Slovak population.
• SnakeLines – Integrated Computational Pipelines for Paired Sequencing Reads Integrated set of computational pipelines for processing sequencing reads including mapping, assembly, variant calling, viral identification, transcriptomics, and metagenomics analysis. Pipelines are embedded in virtual environments ensuring isolation of required resources and reproducibility across Unix-based platforms.
• Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) Web-based laboratory information management system optimized for multi-project research laboratories, addressing registration, tracking, integration and monitoring of samples and their analyses with secure storage and GDPR-compliant access control for personal information.
• Statistical Analyses (Štatistické analýzy) Statistical analysis services for data from various fields, including consulting on experimental design and evaluation, contributing to applied biology and particularly prenatal diagnostics publications.
• Scientific Research Services (Vedecká činnosť) Scientific research services in cutting-edge molecular genetics and bioinformatics, including project management and administrative support for research grants and collaborative studies with academic and clinical partners.
