The future of genomic medicine: can it fulfil its promises?

pharmaphorum

While there may be just under 20,000 confirmed protein coding genes, it turns out that much of the genome outside of these genes is also important in regulating how the genome is controlled. Bioinformatic techniques are then used to piece together the reads into a continuous genomic sequence by aligning them to the reference human genome.

The Utility of Liquid Biopsy in Oncology Clinical Trials

XTalks

Liquid biopsy tests in oncology involve isolating entities such as circulating tumor cells (CTC), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and tumor-derived exosomes. The cfDNA that originates from tumors is called circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). Optimal methods for bioinformatic analysis are still needed. percent show less reliability).
