What Challenges Exist in Integrating Genomic Sequencing with Histology?
Despite its potential, integrating genomic sequencing with histology presents several challenges:
Sample Quality: Obtaining high-quality DNA from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples can be difficult due to DNA degradation. Data Analysis: The vast amount of data generated requires robust bioinformatics tools and expertise to interpret. Cost: The financial investment required for sequencing and data analysis can be significant. Ethical Considerations: Handling and interpreting genomic data raises ethical issues related to privacy and consent.
