Diagnosis: is the process of determining which disease or condition explains a person's symptoms and signs. It is most often referred to as diagnosis with the medical context being implicit.
Genetic disease is the leading cause of death for infants in the intensive care units. Traditional testing is too slow to provide physicians a timely diagnosis to help guide the management of...
Genetic testing currently plays a relatively niche role in healthcare, with testing typically limited to single genes and targeting a relatively narrow range of diseases, including paediatric...
Massive parallel sequencing (MPS) technologies have paved the way into new areas of research including individualized medicine. However, sequencing of trace amounts of nucleic acids still rem...
