Book Description
The nature of cancer disease, its probable causes, and the molecular and cellular mechanisms through which malignant tumours develop, have only recently begun to be understood in any appreciable detail. Cancer is fundamentally a disease of the genome, arising from dynamic changes occurring within DNA during the lifetime of the cell e.g. deletions, amplifications, point mutations, translocations, that can occur in any cell and that may interact in a variety of cellular pathways. The imbalance in the interplay between genetic and environmental factors can initiate malignancy. The determination of the human genome sequence is acclaimed as one of the great achievements made possible by the rapid progress in the available molecular biology tools achieved during the last few years. The sequence of the human genome promises to unveil invaluable information useful for the development of novel approaches in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer disease. This book includes part of the work of international experts on the most up-to-date developments of various aspects of research on genome and proteome in oncology. The scientists suggest that the genetic key to human complexity lies not in the number of genes but in how gene parts are used to build different products in a process of the mRNA transcript called alternative splicing.

Evolution of Translational Omics
Author: Institute of Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309224187
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
Technologies collectively called omics enable simultaneous measurement of an enormous number of biomolecules; for example, genomics investigates thousands of DNA sequences, and proteomics examines large numbers of proteins. Scientists are using these technologies to develop innovative tests to detect disease and to predict a patient's likelihood of responding to specific drugs. Following a recent case involving premature use of omics-based tests in cancer clinical trials at Duke University, the NCI requested that the IOM establish a committee to recommend ways to strengthen omics-based test development and evaluation. This report identifies best practices to enhance development, evaluation, and translation of omics-based tests while simultaneously reinforcing steps to ensure that these tests are appropriately assessed for scientific validity before they are used to guide patient treatment in clinical trials.

Pages : 715
Book Description
Microbial Diversity in the Genomic Era presents insights on the techniques used for microbial taxonomy and phylogeny, along with their applications and respective pros and cons. Though many advanced techniques for the identification of any unknown bacterium are available in the genomics era, a far fewer number of the total microbial species have been discovered and identified to date. The assessment of microbial taxonomy and biosystematics techniques discovered and practiced in the current genomics era with suitable recommendations is the prime focus of this book. - Discusses the techniques used for microbial taxonomy and phylogeny with their applications and respective pros and cons - Reviews the evolving field of bacterial typing and the genomic technologies that enable comparative analysis of multiple genomes and the metagenomes of complex microbial environments - Provides a uniform, standard methodology for species designation

Molecular Embryology
Author: Paul T. Sharpe
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1592592708
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 752
Book Description
Most people have some interest in embryos; this probably results, in part, from their interest in understanding the biological origins of themselves and their offspring and, increasingly, concerns about how environmental change such as pollution might affect human development. Obviously, et- cal considerations preclude experimental studies of human embryos and, c- sequently, the developmental biologist has turned to other species to examine this process. Fortunately, the most significant conclusion to be drawn from the experimental embryology of the last two decades is the manner in which orthologous or closely related molecules are deployed to mediate similar - velopmental processes in both vertebrates and invertebrates. The molecular mechanisms regulating processes fundamental to most animals, such as axial patterning or axon guidance, are frequently conserved during evolution. (It is now widely believed that the differences between phyla and classes are the result of new genes, arising mostly by duplication and divergence of extant sequences, regulating the appearance of derived characters. ) Other vertebrates are obviously most likely to use the same devel- mental mechanisms as humans and, within the vertebrate subphylum, the - parent degree of conservation of developmental mechanism is considerable. It has long been recognized that particular vertebrate species offer either d- tinct advantages in investigating particular stages of development or are - pecially amenable to particular manipulations. No single animal can provide all the answers because not all types of experiments can be carried out on a single species.
