How do Bioinformatics Platforms Aid in Cancer Research?
Bioinformatics platforms aid in cancer research by providing tools for the following key areas:
Genomic Data Analysis: These platforms enable the analysis of DNA sequences to identify mutations and structural variations that are associated with cancer. Transcriptomics: Tools for analyzing RNA sequencing data help in understanding gene expression changes in cancer cells. Proteomics: Platforms that analyze protein expression and modifications can reveal how proteins interact in cancer pathways. Pathway Analysis: These tools help in mapping and understanding the signaling pathways that are disrupted in cancer. Clinical Data Integration: Integration of clinical data with molecular data helps in correlating genetic alterations with clinical outcomes.
