Today, our discoveries fuel the industry’s understanding of genetic disease diagnosis and pave the way for better patient care, treatments, and outcomes tomorrow.
Decoding complexity: the role of whole exome and genome sequencing in genetic diagnosis
Technology at SuperDNA
The SuperDNA differences
Types of technology
Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS)
Unlike whole exome sequencing (WES) which focuses on coding regions, WGS reads the entirety of your DNA code. This means WGS can identify variations (mutations) anywhere in your DNA, not just in coding regions. That is why WGS is most advanced genetic technology that can find answers that more targeted genetic tests miss and are especially useful when the timing is critical, and test results may direct or alter medical management.
Products: SuperDNA Ultimate DNA Test
Whole Exome Sequencing (WES)
It delves into your genetic code and reads the “exome” that is a specific section of this library containing the most critical parts – the coding regions, like the recipes used to create proteins. It can identify variations (mutations) in your genes that might be linked to specific diseases or health conditions.

Genotyping
It examines large number of specific locations on your DNA called Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) simultaneously to provide information about your wellness, potential common illness risks, and other traits.

Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) using Liquid Biopsy
A test aims to detect the possibility of several different types of cancer at an early stage, potentially before symptoms even appear. Unlike traditional biopsies that involve taking cancerous tissue samples, a liquid biopsy is a minimally invasive blood test. It analyzes circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) shed by cancer cells into the bloodstream.

DNA Methylation
A DNA methylation test is a specialized analysis that looks at the methylation patterns on your DNA. Imagine tiny tags sticking to your DNA instruction manual (your genome). These tags, called methyl groups, don’t change the actual letters in the instructions, but they are known to affect how easily those instructions can be read, due to the changes of lifestyle and environmental factors.

Our Ever-Growing Genetic Database
At SuperDNA, every test we run makes the next one smarter. Our internal database—built on over one million genetic data points—continues to grow as global research expands.
We constantly update our insights by comparing your DNA against well-established population studies like the UK Biobank, Singapore Cohort Project, 1000 Genomes Project, and many more. This ensures that we can determine whether a genetic variant is truly meaningful or just background noise.
Whether it’s a newly discovered variant or a rare combination, our advanced, proprietary variant interpretation engine helps us deliver results that are:
- More accurate
- More comprehensive
- More personalized
This is how we provide definitive risk insights, even in complex or previously unclear cases—giving you and your healthcare provider the confidence to take the right action.
Accuracy & Reliability You Can Trust
At SuperDNA, precision isn’t just a promise — it’s built into our DNA.
We use Polygenic Risk Scores (PRS) to provide a more accurate picture of your inherited risk for complex diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers. Unlike traditional single-gene tests, PRS combines thousands of genetic markers into a single score, giving you a clearer understanding of your personal health risk.
Our accuracy doesn’t stop there. We go beyond standard testing with:
Certified Labs & Data Privacy
At SuperDNA, we take your health and data security seriously. All genetic tests are processed in our ISO 15189, ISO 17025, and CAP-compliant laboratory, ensuring the highest standards of clinical accuracy, analytical validity, and laboratory excellence. We use state-of-the-art sequencing technology and follow strict quality control at every stage of your DNA analysis.
Our lab is also proud to be one of the few in Malaysia participating in the EMQN’s External Quality Assessment (EQA) scheme for molecular genetic sequencing — a globally recognized program that ensures international benchmarking and consistent testing performance.
When it comes to your personal information, privacy is non-negotiable. We comply with international data protection laws, including the EU’s GDPR and Malaysia’s PDPA (Personal Data Protection Act). Your DNA data is handled with the utmost confidentiality, stored securely, and never shared without your explicit consent.
You remain in full control of your data:
- Choose whether to store or delete your genetic information after testing
- Decide if you’d like to receive updates based on future scientific discoveries
- Receive your results in a sealed, printed report — no online access required
Not all genetic tests are created equal!
Different tests use different technologies to get the most accurate and reliable results for your specific needs. At SuperDNA, we offer a variety of options to ensure you get the right test for you.
