Distillation in cancer research involves several advanced techniques and technologies:
Bioinformatics: Utilizing computational tools to analyze and distill genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data to find significant patterns and correlations. High-throughput screening: Techniques that allow researchers to rapidly test thousands of compounds or genetic sequences to identify potential cancer treatments or targets. Mass spectrometry: A method to analyze the proteome and metabolome of cancer cells, helping to identify specific proteins or metabolites that could serve as biomarkers or therapeutic targets. Single-cell sequencing: Enables the analysis of genetic and epigenetic information at the single-cell level, providing insights into the heterogeneity and evolution of cancer.
