Tumor Sequencing Methodology
GenPath’s tumor sequencing technology, OnkoSight, is a custom-built assay and bioinformatics pipeline. The test concurrently sequences known, actionable mutations by next-generation sequencing. This technology sequences every DNA molecule in both directions for improved accuracy and is able to detect single nucleotide variants (SNV), insertions, deletions, complex insertion deletions (Indels), and amplification. OnkoSight panels are validated to a 4% limit of detection; this cutoff was set during validation by looking globally across our panels to eliminate false positives while ensuring 100% sensitivity.
