New Technology Delivers Sequencing Results for Critically Ill Infants in Record-Breaking Time

In this episode of Science Snapshot, learn how a team from Boston Children's Hospital, Broad Clinical Labs, and Roche piloted an ultra-rapid workflow returning whole-genome sequencing results within a single workday for NICU infants.

Science snapshot NICU

In the neonatal intensive care unit, rapid diagnosis can be essential for infants with undetermined genetic conditions—but getting sequencing results can take days or weeks. A team from Boston Children’s Hospital, Broad Clinical Labs, and Roche recently piloted an ultra-rapid workflow that can return whole-genome sequencing results within a single workday. Watch the full video to learn more about what this means for neonatal care.
