C2informed: AI-Based Whole Genome Sequencing of ctDNA
C2informed is a personalized tumor-informed assay for molecular residual disease (MRD) detection in oncology. This test uses whole-genome sequencing (WGS), and by advanced bioinformatics and artificial intelligence technology, the C2informed enables precision MRD monitoring, for early detection of recurrence and disease surveillance, even in the setting of a low-burden disease.
