Proteomics and protein microarray: boon to cancer research and diagnosis

Abstract

Cancer, being one of the most taxing conditions requires functional studies to understand its complex and hetrogenous behavior. Microarray is powerful tool that allows the simultaneous analysis of the expression of thousands of genes or their RNA products on single platform. Proteome chip technology is a remarkable highthroughput method used to probe an entire collection of proteins and proved to be valuable tool in Cancer research and diagnosis.
