Second Code biomarkers, or DNA methylation patterns, provide information on the regulation of genes. The research will enable Orion to develop tests that detect trace amounts of methylated tumor DNA in easy to access tissues such as blood serum, biopsies, and cell scraps. The company expects to market the tests within three years.
