While most biotech firms chase drug development, Parabon NanoSystems has built a forensic empire on a radically different premise: your DNA is a family tree waiting to be read. With just 34 employees and $5.3M in revenue, they're solving murders that went cold decades ago.

"They don't just read DNA—they read family secrets, turning genetic code into a map that leads directly to your door."

The company's core innovation isn't in the DNA sequencing itself—it's in the interpretation layer. While most forensic labs stop at 'who is this DNA from?', Parabon asks 'who could this person be related to?' This shift from identification to genealogy transforms cold cases from dead ends into family trees with missing branches.
