NGS Characterized Biospecimens

Thousands of specimens characterized via NGS across over 20 oncology indications
Precision has created an extensive collection of oncology biospecimens characterized via NGS. These biospecimen sets can include tumor, normal, and adjacent tissues, DNA/RNA, H&E images, and detailed characterization data.
