What is the profit model of domestic gene sequencing companies?

Although gene sequencing is a good treatment method, Zhen Erzhen, a professor at Beijing Institute of Genomics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that at present, from the perspective of application, scientists have only determined the exact relationship between some gene loci and diseases, which means that there are not many genetic tests that can really be used for clinical diagnosis and guiding treatment. It takes time to really diagnose diseases with genes.

Gene sequencing is like a double-edged sword. If used improperly, it also has a negative side. If the whole gene testing is popular, once the information of the genetic defect person falls into the hands of the tested employer, it will have a negative impact on their lives.

Moreover, the uncertainty of gene sequencing is the only basis of individualized therapy, and others include other technical foundations such as gene therapy. More importantly, for any gene sequencing equipment, before clinical use, it is necessary to do a complete clinical trial on its reliability and repeatability, and obtain the authoritative certification of FDA and CFDA.
