A breakthrough approach to early detection

Adela is focused on the detection of cancer and other high-morbidity, high-mortality conditions through a blood test.

science

The DNA methylome is a rich source of information about human disease. Adela’s genome-wide methylome enrichment platform uniquely captures information efficiently from the entire methylome. 

Adela’s technology distinguishes the most-highly informative (methylated) regions of the genome from non-informative regions and preferentially targets those regions for sequencing. 

In addition, Adela’s technology does not require bisulfite conversion, which is a chemical treatment that causes loss of valuable genomic material and information. 

Adela's technology leverages machine learning to detect and classify underlying disease, including tissue of origin and histologic subtype.
