DNAPrint Genomics

DNAPrint Genomics, Inc. engages in the research and development of genomics-based products and services for biomedical and forensics. The company is headquartered in Swampscott, Massachusetts and currently employs 24 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2001-02-23. As of March 15, 2007, the Company’s pharmacogenomics products were still in development. The firm generates revenues in its consumer, forensic and genotyping services, but these services have not resulted in the generation of significant revenues. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company’s revenues were from the sales of its ancestry product, AncestryByDNA and genotyping services. The firm provides services that range from sequencing and genotyping to the entire process of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) discovery to large industrial customers. Contract genotyping is the process of reading a genetic sequence and identifying differences in the sequence letters. This information helps researchers understand how human differences are expressed at the gene level.
