prenatal tests (NIPT) for Down's Syndrome and other genetic

The launch of Yourgene Genomic Services has enabled Yourgene to

In August 2020, Yourgene acquired Coastal Genomics, Inc., a
sample preparation technology company based in Vancouver, Canada,
enabling the Company to extend its offering and IP portfolio in the
DNA sample preparation sector. The acquisition increased Yourgene's
geographical penetration into the US and Canada, supplementing
existing coverage in the UK, Europe, MEA and Asia.
