Bionano Genomics fell about 10% in Friday morning trading

(April 16) Bionano Genomics fell about 10% in Friday morning trading.

There's a genomics revolution underway right now. Surprisingly, though, only one pure-play genomics stock is in the top 100 most popular list on Robinhood. That lone ranger isBionano Genomics(NASDAQ:BNGO). The stock has been a major winner so far this year, with Bionano's shares vaulting 108% higher.

Bionano had generated even bigger gains earlier in 2021. By mid-February, the stock had more than quintupled year to date. However, a shift away from high-flying growth stocks caused Bionano's share price to tumble over the last couple of months.

Many investors remain enthusiastic about the company's prospects. Bionanobeat analysts' Q4 revenue expectations. It expects to soon win accreditation in select European markets for Saphyr-based laboratory-developed tests for acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). The genomics testing company also thinks that it will have 150 Saphyr gene-sequencing systems installed by the end of this year, which would represent a 50% increase year over year.
