Our Services

Discovery Genomics operates within an innovative and ethical business structure to provide transformative personalized patient care. We focus on pharmacogenomics (PFX), whole genome sequencing (WGS) and cancer tissue genomic research to align therapies and optimize personalized population health care.

In 2020, we evolved our services to help impact the trajectory of the pandemic by offering COVID-19 testing services. By retooling our high complexity CLIA-certified lab, we can now process 10,000 COVID-19 tests daily with the highest level of accuracy.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is COVID-19 and how does it spread?

Coronavirus disease (also called COVID-19) is an infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus), one of the most recently discovered types of coronaviruses.

COVID-19 spreads from person-to-person. When an infected person coughs, sneezes, or exhales, droplets containing the virus go into the air and onto surfaces and objects around them. Other people are exposed to the virus by breathing in these droplets or by touching their eyes, nose, or mouth after touching infected surfaces.

Who should get tested?

Individuals who may have been exposed to COVID-19 through:

Living or working in a place where people reside, meet or gather in close proximity (office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, etc.)
Close contact (within 6 ft) with someone who is sick or diagnosed with COVID-19

Individuals who are experiencing mild symptoms including:

A fever between 100.4 degrees F and 102 degrees F
Flu-like symptoms (chills, runny or stuffy nose, whole body aches, a headache, and/or feeling tired)
A new loss of taste or smell
A new or worsening cough or sore throat
Shortness of breath that is not limiting ability to speak

Individuals

Who are going to travel to a place that requires a negative PCR test
Who work or visit a place where safety policy requires a negative PCR test
Whose employer or purchasing organization arranges to get PCR tested

What is a PCR test?

What is the accuracy of a PCR test?

We measure the accuracy of our test using two metrics: sensitivity and specificity. Below are the sensitivity and specificity for our test and a brief description of what each means:

90% Sensitivity - the test will correctly return a positive result for 90% of people who have the disease and will return a negative result — a false-negative — for 10% of the people who have the disease and should have tested positive.
100% Specificity - the test will correctly return a negative result for 100% of people who don't have the disease and will return a positive result — a false-positive — for 0% of the people who don't have the disease and should have tested negative.
