Happy New OGM Code 2025!
Category I CPT Code for Bionano Genomics. The code, which went into effect on January 1, 2025, is for the use of optical genome mapping (OGM) in cytogenomic genome-wide analysis to detect structural and copy number variations related to hematological malignancies.
This approval is significant as it implies acceptance by the medical community and is expected to help with reimbursement for the OGM-Dx™ HemeOne laboratory developed test (LDT) from third-party payers (insurance companies).
The HemeOne laboratory developed test (LDT) is a special test created by Bionano Laboratories to help diagnose and manage blood cancers (hematological malignancies) like leukemia and lymphoma.
The test uses a technique called optical genome mapping (OGM) to look for changes in the DNA that might indicate the presence of these cancers. The test can detect structural variants (SVs) in the DNA that are important for understanding the specific type and characteristics of the lymphoma.
By identifying specific genetic changes, oncologists can tailor treatment plans to target those changes more effectively. This can lead to better outcomes and more personalized care. The test can be used to monitor the patient's response to treatment and detect any potential relapses or changes in the disease over time.
The partnership between Revvity and Bionano Genomics strengthens their position in the genomic testing market, especially for applications requiring detailed genomic analysis. Revvity's substantial resources and expertise in sequencing, paired with Bionano's innovative Stratys system for optical genome mapping (OGM), create a powerful synergy.

Ready here phenomenal studies
Bionano Announces Publication from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Showing that OGM Outperformed Multiple Cytogenetic Assays in a Study of Bone and Soft Tissue Tumor AnalysisDecember 23 2024 - 8:30AM
Bionano Genomics, Inc. (Nasdaq: BNGO) today announced a publication in Modern Pathology by a group of researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, showing that optical genome mapping (OGM) can outperform traditional techniques in analysis of bone and soft tissue tumors. Several prior publications have shown the utility of OGM compared to traditional cytogenetics in studies of hematologic malignancies, however, data on the application of OGM in solid tumors has been relatively sparse. This study provides compelling support for extending the utility of OGM in cancer beyond hematologic malignancies to solid tumors.Key findings:OGM detected all variants revealed by conventional cytogenetics: OGM showed 100% concordance, identifying all pathogenic variants detected by standard of care cytogenetic methods. The specificity of OGM was assessed to be 100%, i.e. OGM correctly identified the same pathogenic SVs and CNVs detected by standard of care/routine cytogenetics (karyotyping and FISH).OGM detected pathogenic variants missed by karyotyping: In 74% of cases with normal or failed karyotype, OGM detected diagnostic or pathogenic SVs that were missed by karyotyping. Further, in 6 cases that failed to yield any karyotyping results due to culture failure, OGM detected pathogenic SVs in all of them. Variants found by OGM but missed by standard of care included the EWSR1::ETV1 fusion, which is a key molecular hallmark of clear cell sarcoma and helps to differentiate it from other soft tissue sarcomas and melanomas.OGM resolved complex cancer genomes: Study authors found that OGM data could re-characterized and better defined complex structural rearrangements including chromoanagenesis in 27% of cases and complex 3-6-way translocations in 15% of cases when compared to traditional cytogenetic methods.OGM combined with NGS found pathogenic variants in 98% of cases, a substantially greater rate than when karyotyping, FISH and NGS are used: The integrated approach of the combination of OGM and NGS resulted in the detection of pathogenic SVs and sequence variants in ~98% of cases. OGM was 100% concordant with NGS for aneuploidy detection.OGM findings have the potential to qualify subjects for targeted therapies that otherwise would not have been possible: The authors state that several of the OGM findings could result in the potential for these cases to qualify for either targeted treatments or clinical trials. For example, cases with potential to be treated by CDK4/6 inhibitors (palbociclib, ribociclib, abemaciclib), TRK inhibitors (larotrectinib, entrectinib), pan-FGFR inhibitors (erdafitinib or futibatinib) were highlighted.
Erik Holmlin, president and chief executive officer of Bionano commented, โApproximately 50% of bone and soft tissue tumor samples fail to reveal actionable information for proper classification of disease, prognosis and therapeutic management because they either fail to culture or because traditional techniques in cytogenetics lack adequate sensitivity and specificity to reliably detect relevant variants. We have seen increasing evidence for OGM as a valuable alternative to cytogenetic methods in blood cancers, and we are thrilled to see researchers at Johns Hopkins publishing this compelling case for extending OGMโs utility to bone and soft tissue tumors.โThe full research publication is available at:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.modpat.2024.100684

The truth will set you free
I really think I have something here, ever since I started posting about the possibility of Revvity buying out BNGO I have been banned on Wallstreetbets, roaringkitty, and pennystocks, to name a few. I was okay talking about the technology, but when I brought up Revvity's deep pockets and buying BioLegend for 5 BILLION and the fact they could buy BNGO with petty cash, I got shut out.
I think Revvity buying BNGO is a very real possibility. For some reason, and don't take my word for it, nobody is talking about Revvity, its just the sound of crickets. Here is my prediction, BNGO is going to initiate a BIG reverse split and when the dust settles Revvity will buy out Bionano Genomics for around 250 to 500 million.
Remember, they bought BioLegend for 5 BILLION, so millions are nothing to them. The sad truth is they will get the Stratys System, which is a much better deal than BioLegend and for pennies.
I believe this was a sneaky contrived plot on the part of BNGO management. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but the technology is phenomenal, and they canโt pull it together financially?
Another point, what analyst have you heard talk about Revvity and BNGO teaming-up and creating a better product than the individual companies of Illumina, Thermo Fisher, and Agilent. It is being initiated worldwide by Revvity! There go the crickets, Chirp! Chirp!

Should I Stay or Should I Go
The Clash (stockholders vs Board)
Erik, Darling, you got to let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that we are fine
I'll be here 'til the end of time
So you got to let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
Itโs always dilute, dilute, dilute
And you seem happy when I lose
One day is fine and next itโs Cracked
So if you want me off your back
Be straight with me, quit talking smack
If I stay will BNGO double
Or will you let OGM turn to rubble

Do WE Vote YES, NO, or ABSTAIN
BNGO did a reverse split of 1 for 10 in August 2023. Since then, Erik Holmlin
Increased (diluted) BNGO shares by 89 MILLION, raising money for the Company.
A number of shareholders highlight the fact the Company is in dire straits, however Erik
never took a pay cut to help out.
BNGO will hold a shareholders meeting on January 15,2025. On the agenda are the following:
A reverse split for either 1 for 25 or 1 for 75, and increasing (diluting) overall share by 19 million.
My question is, and I am looking for advice: Do we vote YES, NO, or ABSTAIN?
So, if you how have 25,000 shares of BNGO, and the reverse comes, you will
either have 1,000 shares or 333 shares.
Comments, Please!
