FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JUNE 6, 2019 ANN ARBOR, MI
Genomenon® has released a research report detailing fusion genes of clinical significance found as of April 2019. Fusion genes have long been known to play an important role in the development of cancer. Identifying and documenting each newly discovered fusion is crucial in both patient diagnosis and the development of precision medicines (specifically, targeted therapeutics). The report was compiled using research data found in the Mastermind® Genomic Search Engine.
The Genomenon team used Mastermind to compile a comprehensive knowledgebase of literature describing gene fusions in order to analyze the data and relate the findings in the report. This is the most exhaustive fusion gene knowledgebase in existence, due to the completeness of the Mastermind literature database and the way Mastermind employs Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to organize and present the data.
The report includes:
