Test Detects Cancer Mutations from Circulating DNA
In cancer patients, apoptotic and necrotic tumor cells release their DNA content into the blood. This is commonly referred to as circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA); and can be used for DNA sequencing or molecular genotyping assays to identify and quantitatively measure those ctDNA molecules bearing somatic mutations.

Gene Expression Profiling Validated for Uveal Melanoma
Uveal melanoma is a cancer of the eye involving the iris, ciliary body, or choroid (collectively referred to as the uvea). Tumors arise from the pigment cells (melanocytes) that reside within the uvea giving color to the eye. More...29 Aug 2017
DNA Sequencing of MRSA Predicts Patient Survival
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterium that has become resistant to most types of antibiotics, and up to 20% of patients with invasive infections die. Although S. aureus is a common bacterium that lives on the skin, if it gets inside the body through a cut it can cause septicemia. More...23 Aug 2017
New Molecular Test Identifies Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with more than 600,000 deaths each year. Among individuals undergoing treatment for the disease, recurrence occurs in 30% to 50% of all cases. The majority of these cases present in the first two to three years following initial diagnosis and treatment. More...23 Aug 2017
