However, China has a shortage of well-trained pathologists, which is why some American lab organizations are establishing medical lab testing ventures in China If experts are right, a company in China is poised to become the world’s largest at gene sequencing. In addition, the huge volume of genetic data it generates is expected to give this company the world’s largest database of genetic information. Such developments could mean that, in just a few years, many pathologists and molecular...
