GeneSeq® Features and Benefits

Guides Early Treatment Selections

  • Most useful in choosing a patient's first and second treatment regimens before the buildup of complex mutation patterns.
  • Supplements phenotypic information in later lines of therapy as resistance increases.

Leading-Edge Test Technology

  • Uses vectors derived from patient virus to provide highest degree of accuracy in identifying drug resistance mutations.
  • Detects mixtures of wild-type and drug-resistant viruses as low as 10% of total viral population.
  • Sensitive enough to be performed on patient samples with viral loads as low as 500 copies/mL.

Trusted Interpretation

  • Test results powered by the world's largest database of HIV genotype-phenotype matches – enables continual refinement of interpretation and strengthens its association with treatment outcomes.
  • Interpretation algorithm relied on by academic investigators and leading pharmaceutical companies for clinical research and new drug development.
  • Superior predictor of virologic response to protease inhibitors in multiple comparative analyses 1,2
