This Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 14D-9 (this “Amendment No. 3” ) amends and supplements the Solicitation/ Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” ) on July 1, 2009 (as amended on July 13, 2009 and July 16, 2009, and as amended or supplemented from time to time hereafter, and together with the exhibits thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9” ) by Monogram Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation ( “Monogram” or the “Company” ). The Schedule 14D-9 relates to the tender offer by Mastiff Acquisition Corp. ( “Purchaser” ), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, a Delaware corporation ( “LabCorp” ), disclosed in a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, dated July 1, 2009 (as amended on July 13, 2009 and July 17, 2009, and as amended or supplemented from time to time hereafter, and together with the exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO” ), to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock not owned by LabCorp, Purchaser or the Company at a purchase price of $4.55 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and subject to any tax withholding (the “Offer Price” ), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated July 1, 2009 (as amended on July 13, 2009 and July 17, 2009, and as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase” ), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Letter of Transmittal” , which together with the Offer to Purchase constitute the “Offer” ). The Schedule TO was filed with the SEC on July 1, 2009. Copies of the Offer to Purchase and Letter of Transmittal are filed as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B) to the Schedule 14D-9, respectively.

All capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 3 without definition have the meanings ascribed to them in the

Schedule 14D-9.

The information in the Schedule 14D-9 is incorporated into this Amendment No. 3 by reference to all of the applicable items in the Schedule 14D-9, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided in this Amendment No. 3.

The second paragraph under the heading “ Antitrust Compliance ” included in Item 8 ( “Additional Information” ) of the Schedule 14D-9 is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following paragraph:

“Under the HSR Act, the purchase of the shares of Common Stock in the Offer may not be completed until both LabCorp and Monogram file certain required information and documentary material concerning the Offer with the FTC and the Antitrust Division and observe the HSR Act’s notification and waiting periods. The HSR Act provides for an initial 15-calendar day waiting period following receipt of the necessary filings by the FTC and Antitrust Division. If the 15th calendar day of the initial waiting period is not a business day, the initial waiting period is extended until 11:59 PM of the next business day. LabCorp and Monogram filed the Premerger Notification and Report Forms with the FTC and the Antitrust Division for review in connection with the Offer on July 1, 2009. The initial waiting period applicable to the purchase of shares of Common Stock expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on July 16, 2009, with no action by either the FTC or the Antitrust Division. Accordingly, the condition to the Offer relating to the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act has been satisfied. The Merger will not require an additional filing under the HSR Act if Purchaser owns at least 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within one year after the HSR Act waiting period applicable to the Offer has expired.”

Item 9 of the Schedule 14D-9 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following to the list of exhibits:
