How Can Researchers Utilize NCBI for Cancer Studies?
Researchers can utilize NCBI for cancer studies in several ways:
Literature Review: Using PubMed to find and review the latest research articles on specific types of cancer or cancer-related topics. Sequence Analysis: Using BLAST to compare DNA, RNA, or protein sequences to identify similarities and potential functional regions. Data Mining: Accessing and analyzing genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data to identify new cancer genes, pathways, and potential drug targets. Gene Expression Studies: Using the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to study gene expression patterns in cancer and identify differentially expressed genes.
