Spotlight on Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies
September 19, 2018
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) are related disorders that are characterized by progressive degeneration and weakening of the muscles, particularly skeletal and heart muscles.
Both are caused by oftentimes complex mutations of the DMD gene, all of which are detected by the Variantyx Unity™ test. Read this week's post to learn more ...

Comprehensive hereditary cancer screening: Know the sequencing technology being used
September 5, 2018
It’s important to know what mutations are covered and therefore how comprehensive a test is. When available hereditary cancer screening tests are reviewed, we find an intersection of 28 well-studied cancer predisposition genes that are covered by most if not all of the tests. Of these genes, 24 have previously described, cancer-associated del/dup mutations that are two exons or less in size. This is significant for two reasons ...

A clinically validated whole genome pipeline for structural variant detection and analysis
On Demand Webinar
Many benefits are inherent in whole genome sequencing (WGS) technology, including unique opportunities for detection of structural variants. Yet such analyses have generally not made their way into clinical practice.
Listen in as we describe the clinically validated WGS pipeline that we have developed for highly specific and sensitive detection of structural variants. We will discuss the combined use of breakpoint analysis, read depth ...

Why 30X WGS beats 100X WES for variant coverage
May 16, 2018
We’re often asked why whole genome sequencing (WGS) is only performed at 30X coverage while whole exome sequencing (WES) is typically performed at 100X coverage. Doesn’t 100X provide better variant coverage than 30X? If we’re comparing apples to apples, the answer would logically be yes. But in reality we’re comparing apples to oranges, so the answer is not so intuitively no.
Here’s why ...
