What is NGS?

Leave a Comment / Oncology, Precision Medicine, Prenatal Testing, Product Application / By

Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a cutting-edge technology used to sequence nucleotides in a DNA or RNA molecule. Unlike Sanger Sequencing, which can sequence only one DNA fragment at a time, NGS allows researchers to sequence multiple DNA fragments in parallel in a single run. This high-throughput approach revolutionizes our ability to decode complex genomes efficiently

Liquid vs. Solid Biopsy

Leave a Comment / Oncology / By

Revolutionary advancements in medical technologies have armed physicians with state-of-the-art methods for detecting and monitoring cancer.  Two of these methods are liquid and solid biopsies which provide physicians and researchers with integral information about a patient’s condition.  What is a Solid Biopsy? Solid biopsies are the traditional method of analyzing tumors; this typically involves extracting samples of tissue from the tumor using a needle or
