Complete Genomics, Inc.

To Complete Genomics, order is everything. A life sciences company, Complete Genomics provides outsourced human DNA-sequencing services to US biotechnology companies, research organizations, and universities. Customers mail in organic samples to Complete Genomics, which in turn sequences the samples' DNA using a proprietary sequencing platform (In essence, it produces a "map" of a DNA strand by determining the order of the nucleotides in the strand.). The company then provides an electronic record of the results to its customers, who use the information for disease research or drug discovery purposes. Founded in 2005, Complete Genomics is a subsidiary of China's BGI-Shenzhen.
