About Metagenomi

Metagenomi is a precision genetic medicines company committed to developing curative therapeutics for patients using its AI-driven metagenomics platform. Metagenomi is harnessing the power of metagenomics, the study of genetic material recovered from the natural environment, to unlock four billion years of microbial evolution to discover and develop a suite of novel editing tools capable of correcting any type of genetic mutation found anywhere in the genome. Its comprehensive genome editing toolbox includes programmable nucleases, base editors, and RNA and DNA-mediated integration systems (including prime editing systems and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat associated transposases (CAST)). Metagenomi believes its proprietary, modular toolbox positions the company to access the entire genome and select the optimal tool to unlock the full potential of genome editing for patients.
