sequencing-based diagnostics

The clearances pave the way to clinical applications for three of MGI's instruments but the BGI subsidiary faces legal challenges from Illumina in Europe and the US.

Genentech will use Adaptive's ClonoSeq assay for MRD testing in a CLL study. Adaptive will receive upfront and sample testing payments of undisclosed amounts.

The firm said it will use the funding to invest in research and development that will improve upon its deep shotgun metagenomic sequencing technology.

The acquisition will allow the firms to provide annotated biospecimens, as well as sequencing, bioinformatics, and lab services to hospitals and clinicians.

Centogene said it will conduct molecular diagnostic testing using deletion/duplication analysis and full-length sequencing of the DMD gene.

The prospective, multi-site clinical trial will evaluate the clinical utility of unbiased sequencing for identifying pathogens in suspected CNS infections.

The firm will use the funds to continue its commercialization plans for the Unyvero diagnostic test cartridges and instruments.

Avalon said that it will collaborate with genomic sequencing and PCR firm Da An Gene to accelerate exosome diagnostic product development and commercialization.
