Mate pair sequencing yields rich new data

November 2019—The LUVOIR telescope proposed this year by NASA, when it is launched into orbit, will outperform the Hubble Telescope 40-fold in ability to detect and visualize deep space objects in detail. But while dazzling in concept, the LUVOIR is still in development. Interestingly, at the genomic level, a similarly impressive advance in detection called mate pair sequencing has already progressed from research to clinical use in diagnosing cancer. With mate pair sequencing, a novel next-generation sequencing technique, Mayo Clinic is advancing the laboratory’s current capabilities for visualizing genetic rearrangements, thus increasing the diagnostic yield of testing for a variety of neoplasms.
