Ultima Genomics to provide low-cost $100 genome sequencing

Bridging communication and genomics: A path toward equitable cancer care

The era of genomic oncology is defined by complexity. Over the last decades, we have moved from single-gene tests to multi-gene panels and, eventually, will be routinely using whole-exome/whole-genome and transcriptome sequencing in clinical care.

DNA sequencing tool reveals hidden mutations that can drive cancer

Researchers have refined a powerful DNA sequencing tool that can uncover hidden mutations that occur naturally in our bodies as we age. In the largest study to date, they have used the tool to provide insights into the earliest steps of cancer development and the role of mutations in healthy tissue.

The new therapeutic imperative in cancer management: Sequence, biosimulate, treat

The definition of “therapeutic imperative” is this: A treatment necessity that must be met in order to prevent death. Once the imperative is clearly defined, addressing it properly links correct diagnosis with therapy and favorable prognosis. On the other hand, misdiagnosis or inadequate diagnosis fails to provide a framework for highly effective or curative therapy.
