Genetic testing basics for health science professionals

Genetic testing and genomic studies are helping people around the world to live healthier lives and fight disease and infection on a global scale. Exponential advances in high throughput genomic technologies and ‘big data’ analysis have powered large-scale data initiatives such as the 1000 Genomes Project, the 100k Wellness Project, and many others.

To keep up with rapidly evolving trends in genomic medicine and human health sciences, an understanding of the basic concepts, technologies and applications used in genetic testing and genomic analysis is essential.

In this guide we address some of the most frequently asked questions on this topic, and take a closer look at some of the fields where next generation sequencing (NGS) is already making an impact.
