Coperna®; Exagen's Discovery Engine

Exagen's proprietary computational technology, Coperna, is the heart of our discovery process. Using algorithms designed specifically for discovery in genomic data, Coperna allows our scientists to rapidly identify accurate combinations of genomic markers that will help physicians and patients manage disease.

Coperna enables us to discover accurate genomic marker sets across the spectrum of genomic data types, including the latest high-density gene expression and SNP arrays. Other groups, using less powerful discovery techniques, will likely not find marker sets approaching the performance of our Coperna-generated discoveries. Our superior 'hit rate' is a result of Coperna's deeper search of genomic data for accurate marker sets, and following this, our in-silico validation that the identified marker sets are truly significant. The end result: high confidence that subsequent clinical studies will validate our computational discoveries.
