Pharmacogenomic Variants That Differ Across Populations

Jun 9, 2026

Pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing tailors drug selection and dosing to a patient’s genetic profile, reducing adverse drug reactions and improving therapeutic outcomes. The clinical recommendations that drive PGx, published by the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) and the FDA, are evidence-based and guideline-backed. However, many of the most clinically important PGx…

Long Read Part 3: Repeat Expansions

May 19, 2026

Short tandem repeats (STRs) are among the most challenging variants to characterize with traditional sequencing technologies. Many clinically significant STR expansions span hundreds or thousands of base pairs, far exceeding the read lengths of short-read platforms. As a result, countless disease-causing repeat expansions have historically gone undetected in genomic workflows,…
