Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples are increasingly being used for genomic profiling of brain tumors, offering a less invasive alternative to tissue biopsies. CSF samples provide a higher signal-to-noise ratio for detecting tumor-derived cell-free DNA (cfDNA) compared to plasma samples, making them particularly useful for …

September 2025—Illumina has launched TruSight Oncology 500 version 2, the next generation of the company’s flagship pancancer next-generation sequencing assay that enables in-house comprehensive genomic profiling from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue for oncology research. A key enhancement of the new assay is fully integrated homologous recombination deficiency analysis included for every sample, powered by a gold-standard genomic instability scoring algorithm licensed from Myriad Genetics. Other updates include more sensitive variant calling and improved coverage of difficult genomic regions. The new kit has 50 percent less packaging and 70 percent fewer tubes.
