DNA — what changed in the latest 10-Q
A section-by-section comparison of DNA's newest periodic SEC filing (10-K/10-Q) against the prior same-form filing: paragraphs added and removed per section, with verbatim excerpts. Purely a deterministic text diff — no similarity scores, no directional read, not investment advice.

MD&A
Text added vs the prior filing · source: 10-Q · 2026-05-07
Ginkgo currently sells cell engineering biological R&D services and tools to government and commercial customers across a range of industries.
Ginkgo offers biological R&D services on our platform to enable our customers to bring their products to market. Historically, Ginkgo’s primary service offering has been cell engineering R&D services (solutions) where Ginkgo performs technical activities. In 2024, Ginkgo expanded its service offerin…
The fundamental advantage of our cell engineering platform over traditional cell engineering done by hand at our customers’ labs is that our platform improves with scale while in-house cell engineering in our customers' labs largely does not. Compounding and mutually reinforcing improvements of our …
Our Autonomous Lab is a flexible wet lab built from our RAC systems capable of large scale data generation; it powers generative AI and ML tools that enable more successful biological R&D. We now offer services providing such data generation, AI and automation tools directly to Ginkgo customers. Our…
We charge customers fees for the services we provide in our cell engineering tools offerings. Fees for our automation solutions (RAC systems) are typically earned over a period that covers design, build, and deployment and range from six to twelve months. In addition, we offer support services for o…

Ginkgo sells services in two business segments: cell engineering, where we provide biological research and development (“R&D”) services for our customers across a range of industries, and biosecurity, where we provide services to government and commercial customers so they can work to identify, moni…
Ginkgo does not make end products; instead, we offer biological R&D services on our platform to enable our customers to bring their products to market. Historically, Ginkgo’s primary service offering has been end-to-end cell engineering R&D services (solutions). In 2024, Ginkgo expanded its service …
Compounding and mutually reinforcing improvements of our laboratory automation and software infrastructure—our Foundry—and our reusable data assets—our Codebase—enable us to improve our services with each successive project.
•Our Foundry is a flexible capability for large scale data generation; it powers generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning tools that enable more successful biological R&D. We now offer services providing such data generation and automation tools directly to Ginkgo customers.
•Our Codebase is a data asset comprising best practices for cell engineering, along with sequences and host cells that have been honed through dozens of programs and can be directly reusable for our end-to-end cell engineering solutions.
Market risk (Item 3)
Text added vs the prior filing · source: 10-Q · 2026-05-07
investments in our portfolio, an immediate change in market interest rates of 100 basis points would not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
We are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk from the translation of the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries, whose financial condition and results of operations are reported in their local currencies and then translated into U.S. dollars at the applicable currency exchange rat…
Inflation generally affects us by increasing our cost of labor, laboratory supplies, consumables and equipment. We do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
