Next-gen sequencing makes biomarker testing faster

Labs using next-generation sequencing (NGS) can now identify biomarkers — like genetic mutations or inflammation markers — in hours instead of weeks. Reported by Inside Precision Medicine.

Why it matters

Quick turnaround means faster diagnosis, personalized treatments, and fewer wasted doctor visits. It’s a major upgrade for people tracking performance, aging, or chronic conditions.

What’s new

Hospitals are adopting smaller in-house sequencing machines, cutting reliance on third-party labs. That means more control, lower cost, faster answers.

What you can do

If you’re getting serious about health data, ask your provider if they use NGS-based testing. It’s not just for cancer, it’s for anyone who wants deeper insight into their biology.
