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

On June 4, 2025, New York startup Nucleus Genomics launched Nucleus Embryo, software that helps IVF parents rank embryos using genetic data.
The software builds on polygenic risk scores from clinical partner Genomic Prediction, analyzing up to 20 embryo DNA files for over 900 traits and health risks.
Parents receive a dashboard showing embryos' predicted traits such as IQ, height, appearance, and probabilities of diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's before implantation.
The $5,999 service allows comparison of embryos on multiple factors, though accuracy for some traits like IQ remains limited, and the practice has sparked ethical debates.
The launch signals growing adoption of genetic embryo screening, reflecting expanding reproductive choices amid ongoing scientific challenges and ethical controversies.
