Bespoke assays for projects outside the standard shape.
When a project doesn't fit our core service categories, Custom Services is where we design the assay around your question.
Most of our work fits into one of our core service categories — oncology, rare genetic diseases, compound–target. When a project doesn't, Custom Services is where we design the assay around your question.
Where we add value
Arrayed per-variant studies
Full cell viability curves and dose-response data for individual variants — for focused mechanistic work, target validation, or hit-to-lead studies where library-scale screening isn't the right shape.
Tagging-based readouts
Using geneSlice's protein tagging capability to support your specific workflow.
Difficult genomic contexts
Repetitive regions, highly homologous sequences, loci with high off-target liability.
Custom phenotypic endpoints
Readouts not covered by standard assays.
Combinations of edits
Multi-locus, multi-variant, or variant-plus-tag combinations in a single cell line.
Other questions
If you have a gene target and a biological question, we'll help you design the right assay.
From question to scoped assay.
Custom projects start with a consultation: the gene, the biological question, the readout you need. We assess feasibility, propose an assay architecture, and scope the project against the proposal. Project execution follows the standard geneSlice pipeline — cell line development, screening, data analysis, delivery — adapted to the bespoke design.
Most custom projects run on a similar 6–12 month rhythm; some are shorter. Scoped per project.
A few we've delivered
Large deletions & genetic reversion
We established cell lines carrying kilobase-scale deletions that removed pathogenic variants from a target gene, and tested how the deletions affected drug sensitivity and gene function.
