## About DNAnalyzer
43
44
DNAnalyzer is a a biotechnology research and deployment company. Our mission is to revolutionize DNA analysis by making AI-powered genomic insights accessible to all through on-device computation.
45
46
Founded by [Piyush Acharya](https://github.com/VerisimilitudeX), our platform has attracted **45 computational biologists and computer scientists** from institutions including Microsoft Research, University of Macedonia, and Northeastern University.
47
48
Our impact has been recognized by the organizers of the [AI Engineer World's Fair](https://www.ai.engineer/worldsfair) (backed by OpenAI, Microsoft, Google DeepMind, and Anthropic) and the CEO of Forem.

<div align="center">
55
56
| Current Reality | DNAnalyzer's Mission |
57
|---|---|
58
| **$100** average cost for DNA sequencing | **Free** on-device analysis |
59
| Up to **$600** for basic health insights | **Accessible** to underserved communities |
60
| **78%** of companies share genetic data with third parties | **Private, secure** analysis that stays on your device |
61
| Data breaches expose millions (23andMe: 6.9M users in 2023) | **No central database** of sensitive genetic information |

## Quick DNA Introduction
107
108
**DNA: The Programming Language of Life**
109
110
DNA exists in most cells of the body and contains the blueprint for creating over 200 distinct cell types. Like a programming language exclusive to living organisms, it encodes the instructions for all biological processes.
111
112
**Databases: The Foundation of Analysis**
113
114
A DNA database is crucial for interpreting DNA sequences. By leveraging machine learning, we can make predictions on previously unseen DNA sequences, forming the foundation of modern genomic analysis.
115
