What are the Future Directions for Gene Expression Profiling in Cancer?
The future of gene expression profiling in cancer looks promising, with ongoing advancements in technology and methodology. Future directions include:
Single-cell RNA Sequencing: This technology allows for the analysis of gene expression at the single-cell level, providing more detailed insights into tumor heterogeneity. Integration with Other Omics: Combining gene expression data with other 'omics' data (e.g., proteomics, metabolomics) can provide a more comprehensive understanding of cancer biology. Machine Learning: Advanced computational methods, including machine learning, can improve the analysis and interpretation of complex gene expression data.
