Specialist using "Qiasymphony", an automation platform for<unk> tests<unk>  is a collection of techniques used to analyze biological markers in the genome and proteome, and how their cells express their genes as proteins, applying<unk>  biology to medical testing. In medicine the technique is used to diagnose and monitor disease, detect risk, and decide which therapies will work best for individual patients, and in agricultural biosecurity similarly to monitor crop- and livestock disease, estimate risk, and decide what quarantine measures must be taken. By analysing the specifics of the patient and their disease,<unk>  offers the prospect of personalised medicine. These tests are useful in a range of medical specialties, including infectious disease, oncology, human leucocyte antigen typing (which investigates and predicts immune function), coagulation, and pharmacogenomicsthe genetic prediction of which drugs will work best. They overlap with clinical chemistry (medical tests on bodily fluids).
