Makes genetic tests for clinical care

Natera develops genetic tests for clinicians caring for people with cancer, inherited conditions, pregnancies, and organ transplants, using DNA analysis to inform medical decisions. Its portfolio includes Signatera for tracking residual cancer, Panorama for prenatal screening, and Prospera for assessing transplanted organ health. The company combines laboratory analysis with software that distinguishes DNA fragments in blood, and earns revenue mainly from diagnostic testing, alongside licensing and services for research partners. Clinicians use its portals to order tests, track samples, and review results, while patients have access to genetic information sessions.
