A team of scientists at
@FulgentGenetics is on a mission to improve the diagnostic journey for rare disease patients. Now, they’re diving deep into the genetic drivers of disease with help from
@illumina's TruPath™ Genome.
Fulgent chief scientific officer Harry Gao, PhD, said: “Time to diagnosis is everything. For genetic disease research and testing, we need speed as well as exceptionally high accuracy in some of the most difficult-to-find variants. Our FulGenome whole genome analysis looks at SNVs, CNVs, genome-wide deletions and duplications, mitochondrial variants, and repeat expansions across 20,000 genes, all in a single report. TruPath™ Genome adds long-range insights where short-read sequencing has traditionally fallen short: complex structural variants, repeat expansions, difficult-to-map regions, and phasing without parental samples, so we can connect the genetic dots faster, and with greater confidence."
The whole philosophy behind Fulgent's mission is that a rare disease patient shouldn't have to run a gauntlet of sequential tests to get an answer. Fewer tests. More answers. Less odyssey.
