Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) in Cancer Research

  • Chapter
  • 80 Accesses

Abstract

Due to considerable research investment in the Human Genome Project, we will have access to the complete sequence information on all the genes encoded by the human genome within the next few years. Although this information will be of great value, it will not be sufficient to provide full understanding of the complex pathophysiology of diseases such as cancer. A more daunting task that lies ahead in this “postgenome era,” is to understand how the different genes are altered in the various cancers and how complex gene interactions produce particular outcomes.
