What are Some Key Applications of GEO in Cancer Research?
GEO data is leveraged in various applications within cancer research:
- Biomarker Discovery: Identifying gene expression signatures that can serve as diagnostic or prognostic markers. - Therapeutic Target Identification: Discovering genes or pathways that could be targeted by new or existing drugs. - Comparative Genomics: Comparing gene expression profiles between normal and cancerous tissues. - Drug Response Studies: Examining how different cancers respond to various treatments at the molecular level.
