Nucleus Genomics Launches Nucleus Embryo, Genetic Optimization Software Alongside Partnership with Genomic Prediction

With U.S. birthrates plummeting and IVF on the rise, Nucleus Genomics launched Nucleus Embryo, the first genetic optimization software that lets parents see and understand a complete genetic profile to select an embryo.

“Before there’s a heartbeat, there’s DNA,” said Kian Sadeghi, founder and CEO of Nucleus. “One file containing DNA and genetic markers can tell you more about your baby’s future than any other test a doctor could possibly run at this stage. Most clinics stop at whether an embryo will develop. For many parents, that’s not enough. Patients have long asked for more transparency from clinics, and Nucleus Embryo is an important step toward complete data ownership for parents planning their families.”

The software enables parents to analyze and compare up to 20 embryos across over 900 hereditary conditions and 40 additional analyses beyond basic viability, spanning cancers, chronic conditions, appearance, cognitive ability, mental health, and more.

To widen access to the software, Nucleus will partner with Genomic Prediction, the first company to offer genome-wide screening on embryos. The partnership sets a new standard in genetic medicine, continuing Genomic Prediction’s decade-long history of giving hopeful parents the best possible chance of implanting healthy embryos. The company’s analyses focus on hereditary conditions, acting as the first line of defense against chronic and rare diseases.

“As an organization, we are committed to supporting patients’ rights to their DNA and any information that can aid in their family-building journey,” said Kelly Ketterson, CEO of Genomic Prediction. “We have a legacy of innovation aimed at providing patients with access to the best scientific resources. Our partnership with Nucleus opens access to information our patients have requested and allows us to uphold our commitment to this legacy.”
