Funded Activity Summary

Mis-repair of broken chromosomes results in gene fusion and is a common feature of blood cancers. Current tests are only capable of detecting well-known gene fusions and are incapable of identifying new fusion events or fusion variations. We have developed a scientific technique, termed CaptureSeq, that can address these issues. We propose to use this technique as the foundation for a single clinical test for blood cancers, capable of detecting all possible fusion variations – known and unknown.
