Sarcomas represent over 100 histological subtypes and are highly heterogenous in their genetic landscape and prognosis.

Key Points: 
  • Sarcomas represent over 100 histological subtypes and are highly heterogenous in their genetic landscape and prognosis.
  • The detection of SVs and CNVs remains challenging and typically requires multiple traditional cytogenetic techniques.
  • In this study, researchers demonstrated OGM’s ability to detect aberrations as small as 500 bp, which is approximately 10,000-fold higher resolution than that of KT.
  • As shown in this study, OGM can provide better characterization of the genomic complexity of sarcoma samples when compared to traditional cytogenetic techniques, due to the workflow’s high resolution and ​comprehensive, genome-wide analysis.
