How Does Bioanalytical Science Support Genomic Medicine?
Bioanalytical science plays a crucial role in genomic medicine by providing the tools and techniques necessary for analyzing genetic material. Technologies such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) enable the detailed examination of DNA and RNA. These techniques help in identifying genetic variants, mutations, and biomarkers that are critical for disease diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning.
