Bionano Genomics (BNGO) announced a peer-reviewed study validating optical genome mapping (OGM) for noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) results. The research, conducted at Hangzhou Maternity and Child Care Hospital, found OGM effectively identifies complex chromosomal rearrangements (CCR) tied to recurrent pregnancy loss, with 70% of CCR carriers being phenotypically normal. The study demonstrated OGM's capability to reveal significant structural aberrations overlooked by traditional methods, improving prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling, highlighting its potential for high-risk pregnancies.

Bionano Genomics (BNGO) announced its participation in the Spanish Society of Hematology (SEHH) 2022 Conference, taking place from October 6-8 in Barcelona. The company featured six scientific presentations showcasing the applications of its optical genome mapping (OGM) technology in hematologic malignancies like leukemias and lymphomas. These independent studies emphasize OGM's utility in cancer genomics and cytogenetic diagnosis, potentially positioning it as a vital tool for future cancer research.

Bionano Genomics (BNGO) announced a study revealing the efficacy of optical genome mapping (OGM) in investigating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Published in Cancer Research, the research demonstrated OGM's capability to detect replication stress-induced structural variations (SVs) more effectively than whole genome sequencing (WGS). The study found that OGM identified 1.4 times more SVs than WGS, illustrating its potential in understanding oncogenesis mechanisms. CEO Erik Holmlin highlighted OGM's sensitivity for large SV detection, emphasizing its complementary role alongside WGS.
