Maximize your biologically actionable insights from small tumor samples with the SOPHiA DDM™ RNAtarget Technology end-to-end solutions
Gene fusions have been associated with various tumors and are recognized as valuable cancer biomarkers in cancer research1. Targeted RNA sequencing is recommended to maximize novel fusion detection by identifying transcribed and potentially actionable fusions.
RNA sequencing fusion detection has become an integral tool of cancer research, as it allows clinical researchers to identify genetic abnormalities that trigger oncogenesis and progression.
