I've been comparing this with Geron. Maybe those of you who've been involved longer can help out, but my understanding of Geron is as below:

Geron is focused at compounds that inhibit telomerase in their cancer thrust - similar for anti-aging. This work is in pre-clinical stage. Company has 7 patents issued, one that may be a CYGS problem relating to cancer and telomerase. Recent "mouse" work has taken some of the hype off telomerase inhibition as the cancer cure-all. They have substantial revenue coming in from collaboration and grants. Geron's market cap is $90M approx.

CYGS focus is on telomere lengthening via vector delivery. Telomerase reduction appears to be a side effect of this. Two patents applied for, none granted to date. Work is in pre-clinical state. There is some (?) revenue from collaboration. Market cap is $6M approx (?)

Comments appreciated,
Graham
