Bionano Genomics' Structural Variation Results Presented at ASHG 2018 Provide Insights in Cancer and Genetic Disease
Globe Newswire 16-Oct-2018 3:00 PM
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bionano Genomics, Inc. (NASDAQ:BNGO), a life sciences instrumentation company that develops and markets Saphyr, a platform for ultra-sensitive and ultra-specific structural variation detection in genome analysis, announces a series of presentations at the upcoming American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) Annual Meeting, October 16 to 20 in San Diego, California.
Erik Holmlin, Ph.D., CEO of Bionano, commented, "In a record number of presentations this year at ASHG, scientists and clinicians are showing critical structural variants identified with Saphyr. They show complex genome rearrangements that lead to genetic disease, reference genomes assembled with Bionano and tumor variants detected in low allelic fraction. Furthermore, Bionano scientists are presenting improvements to our sample prep, data analysis and visualization, making it easier and faster to get a comprehensive view of all structural variants, even in complex, heterogeneous cancer samples. It is increasingly clear that Bionano genome mapping is an essential tool to call the variants that impact genomes."
Bionano will be hosting a workshop led by prominent clinical genomics researchers, Dr. Mike Friez from Greenwood Genetic Center, Dr. Hayk Barseghyan from Children's National Medical Center, and Dr. Vanessa Hayes from the Garvan Institute. The discovery of structural variations using Bionano mapping in cancer and other genetic diseases will be presented.
Bionano will be onsite at Booth #526 to discuss Bionano mapping, Saphyr, and findings presented during the various sessions.
Over a dozen different scientists are presenting Bionano data:
