Bionano Announces Publication Showing that OGM Identifies Genetic Aberrations in Sarcoma Samples that May Lead to Improved Diagnosis but were Missed by Classical Cytogenetics
Sarcomas represent over 100 histological subtypes and are highly heterogenous in their genetic landscape and prognosis.
- Sarcomas represent over 100 histological subtypes and are highly heterogenous in their genetic landscape and prognosis.
- The detection of SVs and CNVs remains challenging and typically requires multiple traditional cytogenetic techniques.
- In this study, researchers demonstrated OGM’s ability to detect aberrations as small as 500 bp, which is approximately 10,000-fold higher resolution than that of KT.
- As shown in this study, OGM can provide better characterization of the genomic complexity of sarcoma samples when compared to traditional cytogenetic techniques, due to the workflow’s high resolution and comprehensive, genome-wide analysis.
