Precision oncology promised to transform cancer care by matching patients to targeted therapies based on their tumor’s genetic makeup, and in many respects, it has delivered. Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) has driven much of this progress, enabling clinicians to sequence hundreds of cancer-related genes at once and identify mutations that can be paired with treatment.

7 Key Benefits to Outsourcing Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Services
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has transformed the field of genomics by allowing scientists to rapidly sequence genomes and transcriptomes at a much lower cost than previous technologies. NGS has become a powerful tool for understanding the genetic basis of diseases and biological processes and is utilized by small academic groups to large pharmaceutical companies. It involves […]
HiFi Long Read Sequencing: 4 major benefits of outsourcing
Advancements in genomics have revolutionized our understanding of life at the molecular level. Among the breakthroughs, long read sequencing and high fidelity (HiFi) long read sequencing stand out as powerful tools, enabling researchers to delve deeper into the complexities of genomes. In this article, we will explore what long read sequencing and HiFi long read […]
4 Powerful Reasons to Outsource and Accelerate Pharmacogenomics Research
What is pharmacogenomics? Pharmacogenomics (PGx) is the study of how variation in certain genes correlates with the response of an individual to a particular drug or therapy. It involves the analysis of the genetic sequence of an individual to predict how they will respond to a compound. When a gene variant correlates with a particular […]
Short read sequencing vs long read sequencing: Which one is right for you?
Background Since the first human genome was sequenced over two decades ago, DNA sequencing has progressed from researchers having to laboriously read each DNA letter individually. The development of high-throughput DNA sequencing has allowed for increased speed and accuracy in reading genetic information. However, with this improvement in sequencing technology, two distinct approaches have emerged: […]
