We discuss Project Baby Bear, a pilot program that demonstrated that rapid whole genome sequencing for critically ill babies produced better health outcomes and reduced suffering for the infants while decreasing the cost of their care. We talk to Dr. Lauge Farnaes, Assistant Medical Director at Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine.
