Boston University has taken a 20 percent stake in Framingham Genomic Medicine, a new company that will sell analyses of data from the university’s Framingham Heart Study.

 

Framingham Genomic Medicine is planning to hire a team of geneticists, biostatisticians, epidemiologists and bioinformatics specialists, who will be able to turn the genetic, clinical, and behavioral data collected from 10,000 participants over 52 years into research-quality information.

Target Enrichment NGS Panel Outperforms the Gold Standard for Sequence and CNV Analysis

Sponsored by
Roche

Target enrichment has been a major driver behind the clinical adoption of next-generation sequencing (NGS) over the last decade because it simplifies analysis and provides a cost-effective method of massive parallel resequencing. It has not only replaced Sanger sequencing, but it is actively dispensing the need for parallel copy number variant (CNV) analysis using classic techniques.
