Talos shows automated genome reanalysis can deliver new diagnoses in weeks, not years
Talos reframes genome reanalysis as a continuous, automated program rather than a rare manual event. Across a prospective cohort of 4,735 undiagnosed patients, it yielded 241 new diagnoses (5.1% additional yield) within weeks of new evidence being published, while requiring analysts to review only one new variant per 200 patients per month.
