Detect More Variants that Matter in Cancer
The promise of personalized medicine depends on discovering critical insights into tumor biology that can uncover new therapeutic targets and biomarker signatures that inform care. Structural variants (SVs) are a hallmark of cancer, yet current cytogenetic and molecular methods fail to detect all classes and sizes of SVs, missing a significant amount of information critical to understanding cancer biology.1-16 Studies have shown that a significant portion of SVs detected by optical genome mapping (OGM) are being missed by traditional cytogenetic and next-generation sequencing (NGS) approaches.2,16,17
Leverage OGM to maximize SV detection, so you can build comprehensive genomic profiles of hematological malignancies and solid tumors, deepening your understanding of cancer biology and unlocking new precision medicine possibilities.
Maximize pathogenic and actionable findings.
Leverage OGM’s unbiased, genome-wide, and high-resolution capabilities to detect all classes of SVs, maximize pathogenic findings and increase the number of informed cases in hematological malignancies and solid tumor samples.
Discover new cancer biomarkers.
Unveil new meaningful events with OGM, from single SVs to complex events such as chromothripsis, or even genome-wide signatures such as homologous recombination deficiency.
Better characterize cancer samples.
Combine findings from OGM and NGS to uncover more pathogenic insights and generate comprehensive genomic profiles of tumor samples that deepen the understanding of underlying pathology.
