Our mission is to make cutting-edge DNA/RNA sequencing and bioinformatics readily available to life science researchers in industry and academia. Our goal is to provide simple solutions to complex problems, transforming complicated data into meaningful and applicable knowledge for our customers.

DNASense history

Founded by renowned researchers in 2014, DNASense is a spin-out company from Aalborg University. DNASense continues to benefit from fruitful collaborations with the groups of Prof. Mads Albertsen and Prof. Per Halkjær Nielsen. This allows us to facilitate fast technology-transfer, often years ahead of our competitors.

We provide easily accessible and actionable results for the most challenging and ambitious sequencing projects. Our business model clearly prioritizes the optimal overall results more so than the lowest sequencing price. We provide top-tier services within our areas of expertise and detailed sparring throughout any project, and thereby confidently achieve the best overall value-for-money.
