TRANSCRIPT
GENOMICS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND MANAGEMENT
ID-Gene ecodiagnostics Ltd is a spin-off of the University of Geneva committed to develop DNA services for bioassessment and environmental monitoring.
Our goal is to provide fast, sensitive and reliable environmental DNA solutions to governmental agencies, environmental assessment companies and the industry.
Our DNA tests respond to the growing demand for new environmental impact assessment tools that can complement or replace the morphology-based methods.
Our solutions integrate machine learning algorithms to predict accurate biotic indices values.

OUR ASSETS
ÆÆ Up-to-date reference databases of extensive eDNA dataÆÆ Proprietary algorithms for eDNA data mining and biostatistical analysesÆÆ High-quality standards of samples processing
ID-Gene has a state-of-the-art laboratory facility in Geneva, with access to the newest biotech equipments. The company is controlling all steps of samples processing, from eDNA sampling to PCR amplification, high-throughput sequencing and sequence data analysis.
Æ6 Bioassessment and biomonitoring:
ÆÆ assessing the quality of aquatic ecosystems using a broad spectrum of bioindicators
ÆÆ measuring the environmental impact based on molecular biotic indices
ÆÆ monitoring the spatial and temporal impact of industrial activities in marine and freshwater environments
ÆÆ ensuring regulatory compliance for eco-labeling
Æ6 Biodiversity inventories:
ÆÆ establishing comprehensive lists of species present in ecosystems
ÆÆ assessing species richness and relative abundance
ÆÆ providing ecological information about selected species
Æ6 Species detection and identification:
ÆÆ identifying rare/endangered/invasive species
ÆÆ detecting the presence of parasitic organisms in water
ÆÆ authenticating the identity of biological control agents
ÆÆ tracing authenticity and origins of trade goods
ÆÆ Governmental agenciesÆÆ Environmental assessment companiesÆÆ Industries
