Cancer develops when genetic material (DNA) becomes damaged or changed. We know some cancer-causing genetic changes are acquired (e.g., smoking), while others are inherited. Studying cancer genomics explores the differences between cancer cells and normal...

Can you imagine that a Guinness world record could be related to genetic sequencing and disease diagnosis? A world record for fastest genetic diagnosis was recently set by Dr. Stephen Kingsmore, president and CEO of Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine. Dr. Kingsmore is able...
Genetic testing, including the tests using the second generation sequencing technology, is becoming an very important tool to improve the quality of medical care to cancer patients and high risk population. But, unless the right testing is selected, the results of the gene sequencing won’t...
