    NEW YORK – Illumina said on Wednesday that it has expanded its partnership with Pillar Biosciences to offer the Pillar oncoReveal CDx. Under the terms of the deal, Illumina will begin offering the in vitro diagnostic kit to customers this summer. The assay detects genetic variations in 22 genes and is intended for use with previously diagnosed patients with solid tumors. In April, oncoReveal CDx received nationwide Medicare coverage from the US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

  • Researchers Stack Mission Bio Single-Cell Hacks to Trace Cell Lineage With Methylation
