“We are thrilled to see the scientific and research committees of the ASHG conference recognize the significance of genome mapping techniques, such as OGM, being utilized for the assessment of structural variations. Additionally, we are pleased to see 14 scientific poster presentations from leading research institutions across the globe, demonstrating OGM’s potential for cutting-edge research in the human genetics space,” commented Erik Holmlin, president and chief executive officer of Bionano. “Bionano will also share new data from our collaboration with Hamilton and the Long String VANTAGE automation system. The data shows this workflow may significantly reduce time-to-results, reduce hands-on-time and improve OGM performance by standardizing the process of UHMW DNA isolation, and we look forward to demonstrations at the conference.”
