Understanding cancer and neurodegeneration with genetic biomarkers eBook

We are entering the era of precision medicine, with the goal to optimize the effectiveness and safety of therapies by matching the treatment to the biology for which the treatment was designed. Much work has been done to identify measurable molecular characteristics that can be used for the diagnosis, prognosis, and safety of treatments that provide minimal discomfort to the patient but maximize the chance of success.

 

Download our latest eBook to learn about the significance of DNA and RNA biomarkers in cancer and neurodegeneration and how genetic analysis technologies can support research in these areas.
 

Understanding cancer with precision genomics

Applied Biosystems solutions include a comprehensive range of tools that are extensively utilized in cancer research. In this eBook, learn how genomics can be incorporated into cancer research, from decoding cancer signatures from extracellular vesicles to using circulating tumor DNA to predict survival rates.
 

Advancing cancer research using genetic analysis tools

New advances in gold-standard genetic technologies such as qPCR, CE sequencing, and microarrays continue to drive fundamental and applied discoveries in oncology. More recent technologies such as NGS, microfluidic dPCR, and others are enabling researchers to pursue new territory with greater sensitivity, precision, and speed. This eBook explores how genetic technologies have enabled some of the most recent and exciting discoveries in several areas of cancer research.
