Canadian Bioinformatics Workshop: Bridging Pathology and Genomics: A Practical Workshop on NGS for Pathologists and Pathology Researchers
Toronto, ON October 21-22, 2024 The characterization of sequence variants in a patient’s tumour is key to individualized cancer care. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is used widely to identify genetic variants in clinical oncology samples. Clinical laboratory professionals and researchers tasked with interpreting molecular results would benefit from understanding the strengths and limitations of the chemical […]
