Cancer Genomics and Transcriptomics
Genomics and transcriptomics approaches for improved cancer biomarker discovery and verification
Research into cancer genomics and transcriptomics is advancing our understanding of cancer development and progression. Genomics approaches for biomarker discovery can lead to the identification and validation of potential diagnostic, predictive, prognostic, and therapeutic cancer biomarkers in the future.
Overcome the biggest challenges in cancer research
Thermo Fisher Scientific offers a variety of cancer genomics and transcriptomics solutions to help you solve the most urgent challenges in cancer research today:
- Uncover cryptic tumor heterogeneity
- Extract data from limited and challenging samples, such as FFPE tissues or cell-free DNA (cfDNA) samples
- Obtain key insights from vast amounts of data generated by multiple technologies
- Choose the right technology for each stage of biomarker discovery and verification
Cancer research areas
Solid tumor profiling for improved stratification
Extract more information from your FFPE samples with a multi-omic approach by combining somatic mutation and copy number variation profiling, fusion gene analysis, and transcriptome profiling using our NGS, Sanger sequencing, microarray, and qPCR solutions.
