Dark Genome Biomarker Discovery

Our End-to-End Dark Genome Biomarker Solution

Our platform, built around our TEnex technology, transforms raw transciptomics data into a curated set of TE-derived biomarkers and targets, optimized for biological relevance and clinical utility.

Key Capabilities

Deep Repetitive Genome Profiling

  • Comprehensive quantification of TE expression and activity across your samples
  • Characterization of TE families, subfamilies, and locus-specific events
  • Annotation of TE–gene regulatory relationships to reveal hidden drivers of phenotype

Biomarker Discovery in the Dark Genome

  • Identification of TE-derived signatures associated with disease, response, or resistance
  • Discovery of TE-based diagnostic, prognostic, and minimal residual disease markers
  • Integration of TE features with gene expression, mutations, and clinical metadata

AI-Enhanced Modeling and Interpretation

  • Machine-learning models that combine sequence, structure, and genomic context of TEs
  • Predictive models to prioritize TE loci with the highest likelihood of clinical relevance
  • Pattern discovery to reveal TE networks, regulatory modules, and pathway-level effects

TEnex: Purpose-Built for Transposable Elements

We have developed TEnex, a set of optimized, peer-reviewed pipelines and programs dedicated to the analysis of transposable elements in -omics data.

With TEnex you benefit from:
  • A curated, up-to-date TE reference database covering major families and subfamilies
  • Proven workflows hardened on real biological and clinical datasets
  • Over 10 years of experience at the forefront of TE biology and dark genome analytics

Personalized Solutions for Your Project

Whether you are exploring TEs for the first time or expanding an established dark-genome program, we provide end-to-end support tailored to your needs:

Project Types
  • Oncology: TE activation signatures, immune modulation, and neoantigen discovery
  • Neurology & psychiatry: TE dysregulation in neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders
  • Immunology & infection: TE responses to pathogens and immune stimulation
  • Cell & gene therapy: TE-derived safety, off-target, and insertional risk markers
What We Customize with You
  • Data types and platforms (bulk RNA-seq, single-cell, spatial, ChIP/ATAC, WGS)
  • Biomarker use cases (diagnostic, prognostic, predictive, pharmacodynamic)
  • Computational environment (on-premise, cloud, or hybrid setups)
  • Timelines, reporting format, and level of interpretability required by your team
