Transcriptomics Services for Cancer Research
Transcriptomics has revolutionized cancer research by providing a comprehensive understanding of gene expression patterns in cancer cells. Alfa Cytology, a leading preclinical contract research organization (CRO), specializing in advanced biological research, offers comprehensive transcriptomics services specifically designed for cancer research.
Overview of Cancer Transcriptomics
Transcriptomics involves the study of the complete set of RNA transcripts produced by the genome under specific circumstances or in a specific cell population. This includes messenger RNA (mRNA), non-coding RNA (such as microRNAs), and other regulatory RNA molecules.
In cancer research, transcriptomics is used to identify changes in gene expression that contribute to cancer phenotype, the effects of genetic mutations and the therapeutic response. The current focus in transcriptomics research is not only to catalog the gene expression changes associated with different types of cancers but also to understand how these changes contribute to disease progression and resistance to therapy.
