Understanding Genetic Changes in Cancer
Cancer sequencing using next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods provides more information in less time compared to traditional single-gene and array-based approaches. With NGS, researchers can perform whole-genome studies, targeted gene profiling, tumor-normal comparisons, and more. NGS also offers the sensitivity to detect rare somatic variants, tumor subclones, and circulating DNA fragments.
