Key concept
Why do raw files matter so much?
Because the value of sequencing should not end with the first report. Only when the raw file comes back under your control can that test stay useful later.
What matters most
- Without the raw file, you often stop at a static report.
- With the raw file, deeper interpretation and partner review can keep happening.
- Fern Gene does not run sequencing, but it cares a lot about whether you can take the file back.
