DNA Testing - The Next Generation
High Throughput, High Content Technologies
Introduction

May 2009
Welcome to Mayo Medical Laboratories' Hot Topics. These presentations provide short discussion of current topics and may be helpful to you in your practice.
Our presenter for this program is Dr. David I. Smith, PhD, from the Division of Experimental Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Mayo Clinic. Technology advances are rapidly expanding our ability to detect genomic differences in normal and disease states. Dr. Smith reviews how these technological improvements have increased the speed and capacity of DNA sequencers, expectations for future improvements, and the impact that this will have on clinical practice.
