When Genomics Meets Human HealthTuesday, 25 February 2014 at 10:15 Add to Calendar ▼2014-02-25 10:15:002014-02-25 11:15:00Europe/LondonWhen Genomics Meets Human HealthNext Generation Sequencing: Research to Clinic in San Diego, California, USASan Diego, California, USASELECTBIOenquiries@selectbiosciences.com The development of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has made sequencing not only rapid and cost-effective, but also highly accurate and reproducible. These advances have increased the utility of NGS in clinical settings, with applications ranging from the identification of rare diseases to the detection of chromosomal abnormalities in maternal-fetal medicine. Deep sequencing and circulating free tumor DNA in the oncology space is also trending toward clinical utility. Regulatory clearance of NGS-based platforms and approval of clinical assays utilizing NGS technologies are also central to the wide-scale implementation of NGS in personalized medicine. |
