Optical Genome Mapping: A New Tool for Cytogenomic Analysis

Abstract excerpt

Background/Objectives: Optical genome mapping (OGM) has recently emerged as a new technology in the clinical cytogenomics laboratories. This methodology has the ability to detect balanced and unbalanced structural rearrangements using ultra-high molecular weight DNA. This article discusses the uses of this new technology in both constitutional and somatic settings, its advantages as well as opportunity for...
