Abstract:
National Cancer Institute initiated the project of building the cancer genome anatomy project in order to find a series of indices to retrieve information about genes,proteins and other biological markers related to cancers in 1996.At present,the project has been speeded up with the help of advances in the development of bioinformatics that could provide enormous biological information.Several bioinformations techniques that are commonly used include: Expressed Sequence Tags,Unigene,Serial Analysis of Gene Expression and Digital Differential Display.Each method has its own advantages,which together make up the bioinformatics technology.In this article,we reviewed the application of bioinformatics in cancer research and predict its trend.
