How Will Ultima Genomics and Genome Insight Make WGS Affordable?

XTalks

The application of whole genome sequencing (WGS) to derive a more complete understanding of cancer has been a central goal of cancer researchers even before the first human genome was decoded in 2003. Ultima Genomics has already partnered with other leading biotech startups.

The future of genomic medicine: can it fulfil its promises?

pharmaphorum

Here he gives us a deeper look at how genomic medicine is evolving and the barriers that are preventing it from reaching its full potential. I saw this, in particular, with the finishing of the human genome,” says Charlie. “At In reality, finishing the human genome was the first step of what is a long journey.”.
