There is a revolution occurring in medical diagnostics created by the understanding of the human genome combined with Next Generation Sequencing technologies. DNA sequencing is the process of determining the precise order of nucleotides within a DNA molecule, the genetic code. In this session we will review the latest technologies in screening and diagnostics that will help revolutionize the next generation of screening and diagnostics by facilitating and socializing the sequencing of the human genome
