Implementing whole genome and transcriptome sequencing for cancer patients in routine healthcare: a comprehensive guide to costing - British Journal of Cancer British Journal of Cancer - Implementing whole genome and transcriptome sequencing for cancer patients in routine healthcare: a comprehensive guide to costing

Have you ever wondered why whole genome sequencing is still not implemented broadly in clinical cancer care?
Its comparably high cost is one if not the biggest challenge for its wide use in molecular diagnostics.
