Potential Tech Paths of Polygenic Scores
Introduction The challenge with Polygenic Scoring (PGS) is not a matter of timing or cost but identifying genuine market needs and pain points that necessitate the use of PGS. This report outlines various sectors where PGS can be applied to solve real-world problems. This also acts as a tech path guideline for the Gene to Health team. Broad-Spectrum PGS for Population Screening Application: PGS can be used for broad-spectrum screening of populations for various disease risks, comprehensive health check-ups, or phenotype-based cohort selection. Market Need: There is a growing demand for more targeted and efficient health screening methods. Agriculture Application: PGS can be used in agriculture to select plant and animal breeds with desirable traits based on GWAS and low-depth sequencing. Market Need: With the increasing mechanization of agriculture, there is a need for more efficient an non-GMO alternatives for crop and livestock improvement. Pet Genomics Application: Unlike current pet genomic tests that focus on identifying hereditary diseases, PGS can…
