The current standard of care for fetal genetic testing requires an invasive medical procedure such as amniocentesis to survey individual DNA changes in the fetal genome. Here, the Talkowski laboratory has developed a new technology that enables pregnant persons to screen the protein-coding sequence of all genes in the fetal genome from a simple blood [...]
Chris Whelan shared our work on non-invasive prenatal sequencing using cell-free DNA at the Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) meeting in Hollywood, Florida in a flash talk and poster presentation. The conference brings together leading users and developers of the latest technologies in genomics, from both academia and industry. He had some great [...]
Michael gave a platform presentation on the lab’s work on non-invasive fetal exome sequencing using cell-free DNA at the annual American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) annual meeting in Salt Lake City. The meeting brings together leaders in medical genetics and genomics across disciplines. It was an excellent chance to meet with leaders in [...]
