July 10, 2019 – Genomenon Provides Quick Answers on Fusion Genes

Well over 20,000 fusion genes have been documented since the first one was discovered in 1973…says Mark Kiel, MD, PhD, founder and chief science officer of Genomenon. Mastermind organized all the evidence (roughly 30,000 articles) on the 507 “bad actor” genes comprising the Illumina TruSight Fusion Gene Panel. It then compiled a list of the well-known fusion partners—numbering between one and 95—involved in 2,500 fusion events in those genes in a new report… Continue Reading….

May 14, 2019 – KGI First Academic Partner for Genomenon’s Genomics Educators Program

Genomenon announced today the launch of its Genomics Educator Program and named the Keck Graduate Institute(KGI) as its first academic partner for this effort which provides graduate level students with access to its flagship product the Mastermind Genomic Search Engine. According to Candace Chapman, director of marketing for Genomenon, the relationship with KGI was built off a conversation struck up between Fortini and Genomenon executives in 2017 at the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG)Annual Conference. “Barbara has shared great feedback as a Mastermind user since then, and she was the first person we reached out to for the Genomic Educator’s Program,” Chapman told Clinical OMICs in an exclusive interview. “It’s safe to say that Barbara and the Keck program was a major inspiration.”Continue Reading….

May 9, 2019 – Rare Genomics Institute Brings Hope to Rare Disease Patients

“Sometimes there is only one research paper that can connect a patient’s DNA with a diagnosis. Searching through millions of research papers to find a patient’s genetic mutation can be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. With advanced AI techniques used by Genomenon, the needle can pop right into view.” said Dr. Ray. “I can say with certainty that without the findings obtained from Genomenon, I would not have been able to provide a diagnosis for this patient.”Continue Reading….

April 1, 2019 – The Rise of Genetic Testing Companies and DNA Data Race

It is said that this is the best of times for direct to consumer (DTC) genetic testing companies, human disease genomics, and the launch of genomic data marketplaces. Due to advances in technology and the availability of cost-effective consumer genotyping kits, massive genomic data sets from human patients and controls are being created from across nations. As a result, it is not only the continued growth in the number of disease genes identified, but it will also advance a deepening of our understanding of the fundamental human genetic architecture and disease states. Moreover, we will also see the commercialization of genomic data. Continue Reading….
