Targeted RNA-Sequencing Panel Detects Gene Fusions in Solid Tumors

Increasingly, rearrangements resulting in gene fusions have been revealed in multiple tumor types across diverse organ systems. These gene fusions can drive tumorigenesis by altering gene expression and activity. Timely and reliable detection of fusions provides useful information to the pathologist and clinical team. More...

Same Day Test Identifies Secondary Infections in COVID-19 Patients

The intensive care unit (ICU) is a dynamic environment with frequent staff-patient contact for invasive monitoring, interventions and personal care that together introduce the risk of secondary or nosocomial infection. When critically ill patients are cared for in the ICU, doctors may take deep samples from their lungs. More...
