EP 230: From short reads to long reads in clinical genomics with Anna Lindstrand of Karolinska Institute

Episode notes

This week on The Genetics Podcast, Patrick is joined by Dr. Anna Lindstrand, Professor and Consultant in Clinical Genetics and Genomics at the Karolinska Institute. They discuss how Sweden has scaled whole genome sequencing as a first-line test for rare disease, what long-read sequencing adds to clinical diagnostics, how national genomic infrastructure can accelerate translation into precision medicine, and where prevention and adult genomic screening may fit into the future of healthcare.
