Such information can reveal details about tumor staging, tumor progression, heterogeneity, gene mutations and clonal evolution. The first option is to design a personalized small NGS gene panel based on the somatic mutations that were detected in the patient, and this can be used for monitoring disease progression.

Meanwhile, N95 masks are in such short supply that regulators have told healthcare workers they can be used multiple times with little evidence that disinfecting them works. Results are available in about 15 minutes, so the test is much faster than currently available tests which detect viral genes. Drugs and Vaccines.
