Execution
of 2018 Transformation Plan is on Target
RUTHERFORD,
N.J., April 27, 2018 - Cancer Genetics, Inc. (Nasdaq: CGIX), a leader in enabling precision medicine for oncology through
molecular markers and diagnostics, today announced that it has completed the sale of BioServe Biotechnologies (India) Private
Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cancer Genetics to biomedical research company, REPROCELL Incorporated, for $1.9 million.

remaining balance will be payable approximately 6 months from closing and is subject to BioServe's revenues for a four month
period post-closing being equivalent to the same four month period in 2017.
"The
sale of BioServe to REPROCELL is consistent with our 2018 transformation and strategic plan to focus our business and execute
against a path to profitability. We expect this transaction will be beneficial to the Company and our shareholders", said
Jay Roberts, Interim Chief Executive Officer and COO of Cancer Genetics. "For CGI, this divestiture is one of several deliberate
actions to focus our business, simplify our operating structure and generate monetary value to help fund new programs and assist
in reducing overall operating expenses. Additionally, as part of our forward looking strategy, we intend to explore licensing
opportunities with REPROCELL, among other business partners internationally, to bring our vast test and services menu to other
regions with high demand and volume expectations. Overall, we remain focused on developing and bringing to market unique and innovative
diagnostic assets from our industry leading pipeline and collaborating with biopharma companies to augment their therapeutics
development capabilities".
The
Company announced on April 2, 2018 that it has engaged Raymond James & Associates, Inc. as a financial advisor to assist with
evaluating options for the Company's strategic direction. These options may include raising additional capital, the acquisition
of another company and / or complementary assets, the sale of the Company, or another type of strategic partnership. The Company's
