This new offering, complements OmniSeq INSIGHT by evaluating the same set of key biomarkers, enabling delivery of integrated and uniform genomic variants, tumor mutational burden (TMB) and microsatellite instability (MSI) detection from blood and tissue specimens to support exploratory and longitudinal biopharmaceutical studies.
