Why is Transcriptomics Important in Cancer Research?
Cancer is characterized by alterations in gene expression, leading to uncontrolled cell growth and metastasis. Transcriptomics allows researchers to understand these changes at a molecular level, offering insights into the different molecular subtypes of cancer, pathways affected, and the role of specific genes. This knowledge can be pivotal for developing personalized treatment strategies and identifying potential biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis.
