Molecular diagnostics encompasses a rapidly evolving range of assays and systems that facilitate pathogen detection, viral load estimation, antibiotic and antiviral therapy selection, diagnosis of cancer, and other diseases, by the detection and analysis of proteins and nucleic acid sequences. Molecular diagnostics also offer prognostic assessments for a wide range of diseases, as well as assistance with treatment selection and monitoring of drug treatment efficacy. Molecular diagnostics has evolved to be an integrative aspect of healthcare routines by providing most laboratory tests in infectious disease and genetics, and a continuously increasing number of tests in oncology. The massively parallel methods that have now transcended molecular diagnostics allow sequencing of entire genomes at very low costs. The sequenced databases within and between species provide the information necessary for the development of sensitive and specific diagnostic assays. The effect of extensive sequencing procedures has led to most microorganisms today being classified on the basis of sequence rather than phenotype. A presumptive diagnosis is made if a microbial sequence is present where it should not be.
