Genomic Profiling Showcase:
Bionano Genomics
Bionano Genomics develops and markets the Saphyr system, a platform for ultra-sensitive and ultra-specific structural variation detection that enables researchers and clinicians to accelerate the search for new cancer diagnostics and therapeutic targets and to modernize the practice of cytogenetics.

Resolving Structural Variants Across The Genome To Power Discoveries In Cancer & Rare Diseases
Bionano Genomics' Saphyr system is transforming genomics by elucidating genomic rearrangements in cancer and genetic disease that are missed by current methods. Examples will be presented of how Bionano’s genome imaging technology discovers novel fusion genes and complex structural variants that are refractory to NGS and cytogenetics, and how this approach may replace almost all karyotyping, FISH and CNV-microarray assays.
