BabySeq Project Finds Similar Rates of Genetic Risk Variants Across Diverse Groups
BabySeq2 has enrolled a more diverse cohort of participants than its predecessor, leading researchers to examine whether the rate of reportable findings differs.
The research study, run by Genomics England in collaboration with the UK's National Health Service, plans to sequence the genomes of 100,000 newborns.
GeneDx, Epic Systems Collaborate on Rapid Whole-Genome Sequencing for NICU Patients
GeneDx will integrate its rWGS services with Epic's electronic health record, connecting directly with software used to receive orders and send results.
Revvity to Provide Genome Sequencing for North Carolina Newborn Screening Study Under Deal With RTI
Starting in May, Revvity will sequence the genomes of infants that are part of RTI International's Early Check study to identify rare childhood-onset genetic conditions.
The company hopes the workflow, which covers everything from sample collection to data analysis, will help establish sequencing in existing newborn screening labs.
