Three Trends in High-Throughput Gene Sequencing for Pathologists and Clinical Laboratory Managers
Two experts predict that tomorrow’s gene sequencing systems may render large swaths of today’s clinical laboratory obsolete
Gene sequencing is the hot technology in both the biotech and clinical laboratory testing industries. That is because the cost of rapid gene sequencing systems is falling rapidly, even as the speed and accuracy of these latest-generation gene sequencers improves significantly.
It is important that medical laboratories managers and pathologists understand the consequences of this technology development curve. The constantly-improving capabilities of these systems means that rapid gene sequencing and whole human genome sequencing will soon take their place in clinical laboratories and anatomic pathology groups.
