Genomics: The clinical code-breakers

Genomic technology has finally made the leap from the laboratory to the hospital, building on a decade’s worth of research data demonstrating that deep insights from sequencing can deliver powerful diagnostic insights to doctors. At present, only a relatively small number of pioneering medical centers around the world are employing genome sequencing, but these facilities are now routinely revealing insights into once-mysterious genetic disorders and enabling precision care for cancer patients. As the technology’s uptake widens, however, significant clinical, scientific, and economic questions remain.

This Technology Feature Will Cover:

Whole-genome sequencing versus targeted ‘exome’ and gene panel sequencing
The challenges – both medical and economic – complicating sequencing-based diagnostics
Scaling genomic medicine for larger numbers of patients
