Lab tests are medical procedures used to evaluate biological samples such as blood, urine, or tissue. Lab tests are used for diagnostics, to aid in treatment planning, to monitor the efficacy of a therapy, or evaluate how a disease changes over time.
Are there DNA targets in your lab that are difficult to genotype using standard PCR or sequencing?Do you ever need to genotype a single sample, and you don’t want to wait to batch sam...
