The massive parallel sequencing of nucleic acids in healthy and neoplastic tissues has significantly boosted our understanding of cancer biology but prompts also for standardised data interpretation. How to analyse and process the genomic data from large panel tests? Where to find the most relevant sources for interpretation? How could interpretation solutions help to upscale and harmonise such processes?
Dr. Ivana Bratic-Hench is molecular biologist expert at the NGS diagnostic team of the Institute for medical genetics and pathology at the University Hospital Basel. In this episode of your ONCOmmunity podcast, she discusses the ever-changing landscape of biomarker interpretation and big data in molecular diagnostics.
“Data curation is the critical process behind data interpretation. Data curation also fulfilsthe very important purpose of quality control.”
