Advancements in technology have significantly influenced cancer research, enabling scientists to make more precise and comprehensive discoveries. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have revolutionized the way researchers study cancer genomes, allowing for the rapid sequencing of DNA and RNA. This has led to the identification of new cancer-related genes and pathways, as well as the development of targeted therapies.
Another technological breakthrough is the advent of CRISPR-Cas9, a powerful gene-editing tool that allows for precise modifications to the genome. This technology has been used to study the function of specific genes in cancer development and to explore potential therapeutic applications.
