Today about 20 cancer treatments approved by FDA and EMA are directed towards specific gene fusions, and the number of drugs available is growing annually. The increased importance of gene fusions in oncology is driving demand from diagnostic laboratories for scalable analytical solutions.

RNA can be used to analyze gene fusions. Moreover, while DNA is largely identical in all cells, RNA fluctuates considerably both in presence and relative concentrations. The variation reflects cellu

While DNA is largely identical in all cells, RNA fluctuates considerably both in presence and relative concentrations. The variation reflects the underlying cause of a cell’s character and thus RNA analysis gives a more accurate view of the state cells are in compared to DNA analysis. Gene expression levels are important to analyse, and quantitative RNA sequencing is the most informative technology since it also allows for analysis of gene fusion events, which may also strongly influenc
