BGI Australia’s lab has achieved accreditation from the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) to perform clinical Whole Exome Sequencing in Australia, paving the way for the global life sciences company to provide clinical sequencing services for identifying possible disease-causing genetic changes, a release from Shenzhen-based BGI said Thursday.
The lab will start to provide clinical services in Australia for the first time after receiving NATA’s Human Pathology Laboratory Accreditation, adding to the numerous regulatory approvals that BGI Group has received for its global labs and operations.
