Blood cancers, including leukaemia, lymphoma, and myeloma, are said to constitute around 10% of new cancer cases in the US annually.

By leveraging next-generation sequencing (NGS) data analysis provided by the SOPHiA DDM Platform, researchers can identify biomarkers and share data-driven insights with clinical researchers.

Tulane University School of Medicine molecular genetics diagnostic laboratory director Yuwen Li said: “When the time came to upgrade our sequencing platform, the SOPHiA DDM Platform provided a comprehensive heme panel sequencing solution.
