Many hematology procedures are performed in a laboratory for both diagnostic and research applications. While hematology testing is often performed on blood or serum samples, tests may extend to other bodily fluids including urine and cerebrospinal fluid.
Clinical testing with next generation sequencing requires a complex bioinformatics pipeline to process raw DNA sequence into interpretable variants for medical reporting. With sequencin...
