the nucleogenesis project

DBS samples offer extended viability (10+ years) and easy, room-temp storage. This eliminates cold chain needs, simplifying logistics and ensuring sample safety during disasters. Their compact nature makes them ideal for biobanking and wide-scale public health. We have a custom AI tool that identifies the best sample for submission for both immediate testing and storage efficiency.

In a dried blood spot, white blood cells are essentially "mummified" within the paper's fibers as the blood desiccates. This process traps their nuclei, which, if numerous and the sample is properly stored, can theoretically be a source for downstream recovery. We have a custom AI tool that identifies the best of these "mummified" cells for use in advanced genomic techniques.

For SCNT with WBCs, we isolate and theoretically repair/reconstruct "mummified" nuclei from dried blood spots. This prepared nucleus is then microinjected into an enucleated host oocyte for optimal cloning opportunity. Our custom AI tool identifies the best "mummified" cells for immediate testing and storage efficiency.
