We had a fantastic time celebrating our customers during Lab Week 2025. Thank you for all that you do!
In commemoration of Lab Week, we’re excited to introduce a new member of the lab family — Puffy the Background Slayer — named by the competition winner, Fred Hutch Cancer Center.
Want to get caught up on some of the latest research shared at the conference?
We're excited to share a presentation on a custom SureSeq™ panel, the Somatic Myeloid Lymphoid Panel (SMyLyP), given by Laura Semenuk (Queen's University, Kingston, ON, CA) at GLGC in May titled, "SMyLyP: How one integrated laboratory test can detect both molecular and cytogenetic driving alterations across blood cancer."
Hematological malignancies such as ALL and MDSs are characterized by complex mutations that can vary widely between patients and change over the course of the disease.
Research documenting the frequency and presence of rare mutations in these diseases may help develop future prognostic and treatment response indicators.
See how CytoSure® arrays are driving research in hematological malignancies across the world*:
→ Cryptic rearrangement of the KMT2A gene in a B-cell ALL
→ Genomic landscape of childhood ALL in Malaysia
→ Complex genetic evolution and treatment challenges in myeloid neoplasms
Learn more about our SureSeq NGS myeloid genomic solutions at work through two scientific posters, authored by Marzena Wojtaszewska, Coordinator of the Molecular Biology Laboratory, Rzeszow, Poland.

Our latest article explores the important balance between sequencing depth and sequencing batching in NGS.
By strategically optimizing depth and batching laboratories will be able to achieve cost-efficiency whilst maintaining the sensitivity required for clinical decision-making in cancer genomics.
