Beginner’s Guide to Optical Genome Mapping: The Key to Structural Variation Detection

You’ve heard of Optical Genome Mapping (OGM) with Saphyr, but how does it actually work and what can it do for your research? Bionano’s VP of Scientific Affairs, Dr. Sven Bocklandt, walks us through the basics of the technology and demonstrates how comprehensive detection of human structural variation has solved genetic mysteries, brought clarity to genetic disease and cancer, and is enabling the development of clinical assays that are more powerful than ever before.
