Dr. Rachel Butler, Head of the All Wales Genetics Laboratory discusses her rationale for adopting Illumina next-generation-sequencing (NGS) http://www.illumina.com/areas-of-interest/cancer/clinical-cancer-research.html and reviews its advantages in molecular pathology for profiling solid tumor samples. She shares her perspective on both traditional testing methods and the benefits of NGS. http://www.illumina.com/content/dam/illumina-marketing/documents/products/other/ngs-oncology-infographic.pdf Dr. Butler reveals how iterative sample testing was taking a toll on their lab. Now with Illumina NGS workflows, http://www.illumina.com/areas-of-interest/cancer/clinical-cancer-research/somatic-mutations/solid-tumors.html they use a single, cost-effective process for all their gene targets, which has dramatically improved productivity. Dr. Butler also highlights the Clinical NGS Consortium for Solid Tumours, a forum that’s establishing NGS best practices for European laboratories.
