The partnership highlights Xcelom’s growing role in advancing rare disease genomics and international clinical collaboration across the Asia-Pacific region. Xcelom is proud to announce that we have officially joined the Genetic Alliance global genomics laboratory network as its first laboratory partner in Hong Kong. Through this collaboration, Xcelom will work closely with Berry Genomics to provide long-read whole-genome sequencing service (HiFi LR-WGS) based on PacBio HiFi t

Through this event, Xcelom strengthened regional engagement and showcased the potential of long-read sequencing in supporting thalassemia screening and diagnosis. Xcelom was pleased to partner with DKSH Technology Thailand and PacBio to participate in the national conference “Thalassemia-Free Generations Through Advanced Laboratory Technologies”, held in Bangkok, Thailand, from July 22–24, 2026.

How Long-Read Sequencing resolves the CYP21A2-TNXB highly homologous pseudogene challenge and enhances first-tier screening. Introduction: The Evolution of Newborn Screening Compared to traditional biochemical assays, Genetic Newborn Screening (NBS) offers a distinct advantage: clearer results, reduced unnecessary follow-up, and the ability to detect conditions that lack early-stage biochemical markers. Thanks to advancements in sequencing technology, laboratories can now scr
