  • Cancer genomic testing—barriers to NGS clinical utility

    Do you wonder why the power of next generation sequencing has not yet been applied to the timely analysis of pharmacogenomic cancer treatment possibilities for a family member, friend, or neighbor? A recently published article from the Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine located in Farmington, Connecticut USA details various issues that are slowing down the applications of next generation sequencing technology to successful precision cancer therapies and comprehensive cancer genomic profiling (1)
    An innovative cancer-related open knowledgebase, JAX-Clinical Knowledgebase (CKB) has also been recently launched to serve as a public resource for translational and clinical researchers. See https://ckb.jax.org
    Users can link tumor sequence information to regularly updated lists of relevant clinical trials in the US actively recruiting subjects and to appropriate, available targeted therapies. The database also includes regularly updated literature references for a growing number of human cancer biomarkers and related genomic information. (2), (3)

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
