With the ability to map dozens of biomarkers at once, a new method could transform testing for conditions including heart disease and cancer. With the ability to map dozens of biomarkers at once, a ...

(Nanowerk News) Currently, many diseases are diagnosed from blood tests that look for one biomarker (such as a protein or other small molecule) or, at most, a couple of biomarkers of the same type.

Advances in sequencing technologies have accelerated the discovery of the genetic causation of diseases and new cell types. This revolution has also given rise to a new technique known as genetic ...
