New method can easily identify viruses in tumors in a routine clinical genomic sequencing assay
This method of virus identification offers the potential to resolve diagnostic challenges and suggest therapeutic targets, researchers report in The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics Philadelphia – WEBWIRE – Friday, May 6, 2022
Researchers have developed a method to accurately detect viruses from clinical next-generation sequencing and describe novel associations between specific tumors and viruses that warrant further investigation. This information makes it more feasible to consider viral status in treatment protocols. Their findings appear in The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics, published by Elsevier.
Viruses commonly transfer from normal human cells to malignant cells in solid tumors. However, virus detection is ... Read more
