Advancements in research are driving breakthroughs in cancer. With the high-throughput capabilities of NGS to rapidly and accurately obtain large volumes of data, scientists are making discoveries to understand how cancers arise, evolve, and respond to treatments. NGS has made countless contributions to cancer research beyond genomic sequencing alone. Today, NGS allows researchers to understand biological events at the transcriptomic, epigenomic, and proteomic levels for novel applications such as single-cell studies, liquid biopsies, immunotherapies, and more.
Single-cell sequencing allows researchers to understand drivers of cancer at the DNA, RNA, epigenetic, and protein levels (individually or as multiomic experiments) with single-cell resolution.
Involves the analysis of genetic material (e.g., cell-free DNA, circulating tumor cells) from bodily fluids (e.g., blood, urine) to detect and monitor cancer-related genetic alterations. Liquid biopsies offer a less invasive alternative to traditional tissue biopsies.
Cancer biomarkers can offer information about cancer activity and risks. NGS can simultaneously profile hundreds of cancer biomarkers, enabling actionable insights for cancer research.
Immuno-oncology is an emerging field where NGS plays a significant role in analyzing immunotherapy response factors, discovering biomarkers, and applying genomics for personalized immunotherapy. NGS can efficiently assess the tumor microenvironments for immune marker expression in response to tumor growth, treatments, and more while simultaneously profiling thousands of gene expression targets.
