Handbook of Translational Transcriptomics

Handbook of Translational Transcriptomics: Research, Protocols and Applications provides a comprehensive overview on the field of transcriptomics. The book begins with an overview of the past, present, and potential approaches in the field of transcriptomics, with discussions on choosing the correct approach based on the research needed. The book also highlights the pros and cons of each approach and explores techniques and protocols for investigating specific avenues, focusing on RNA sequencing, expression arrays, and gene expression. Sections on data analysis offer recommendations, guidelines, and approaches related to data interpretation.

The book also considers the translation of transcriptomics to clinical application and applications in molecular diagnostics, biomarkers in medicine, and personalized medicine specific to oncology, as well as biotechnology for pharmaceutical research.
