Bionano Announces Publication Showing OGM’s High Resolution Structural Variation Detection in Cancer Validated by Cas9-Directed Nanopore Sequencing

Retrieved on: 
星期三, 四月 24, 2024

OGM has been shown to regularly detect SVs missed by other methods, as a result of the higher resolution and sensitivity of OGM.

Key Points: 
  • OGM has been shown to regularly detect SVs missed by other methods, as a result of the higher resolution and sensitivity of OGM.
  • Some of OGM’s novel findings, however, are difficult for other methods to validate, because of their resolution limitations.
  • The study results highlight OGM’s ability to provide researchers with a more comprehensive understanding of leukemia subtypes and the potential of targeted Cas9-directed Nanopore sequencing to validate new findings efficiently and at high resolution, compared to other genome analysis methods, including short read or other long read sequencing methods.
  • “We were pleased to see researchers conclude that the findings detected by OGM in leukemia samples were robust and superior to classical cytogenetic methods.

Bionano Announces Publication Showing that OGM Detects Over 1250 Structural Variants, including 56 Gene Fusions, in Pediatric Leukemia that were Missed by Whole Genome Sequencing

Retrieved on: 
星期四, 四月 11, 2024

The study also used whole genome sequencing (WGS) for variant detection and evaluated the two approaches side-by-side and the potential benefit of integrating WGS and OGM to obtain a comprehensive analysis of genetic variation.

Key Points: 
  • The study also used whole genome sequencing (WGS) for variant detection and evaluated the two approaches side-by-side and the potential benefit of integrating WGS and OGM to obtain a comprehensive analysis of genetic variation.
  • The study concluded that OGM together with WGS can potentially identify new therapeutic targets and improve personalized medicine in pediatric leukemia and other cancers by providing a more complete view of genome variation, including structural variation.
  • The study findings showed that, of the 3,075 total SVs detected in the B-ALL samples, 1,255 were uniquely detected by OGM.
  • The study also found that WGS detected 66 gene fusions, and that OGM was able to detect an additional 56 fusions that were missed by WGS.

Bionano Announces Publication Showing that OGM Identifies Genetic Aberrations in Sarcoma Samples that May Lead to Improved Diagnosis but were Missed by Classical Cytogenetics

Retrieved on: 
星期三, 四月 3, 2024

Sarcomas represent over 100 histological subtypes and are highly heterogenous in their genetic landscape and prognosis.

Key Points: 
  • 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.
