Cancer is the sum of about 277 different forms of cancer disease. It has been found that gene mutations or genetic disorders caused by genetic and epigenetic factors lead toward abnormal cell proliferation which is said to be cancer. Advances in technology have provided us with increases knowledge of DNA, RNA, and proteins being studied in cancer tissues through advanced bioinformatics tools. This chapter provides an overview of bioinformatics techniques being used in cancer research. There was a need to understand different cancer types, diagnosis, and cure; for which bioinformatics could be a much better tool. Cancer being the most devastating disease is spreading fast in our communities. Modern-day techniques produce a large amount of data that needs high-throughput techniques to arrange, handle and analyze. Bioinformatics tools provide this platform to better understand, analyze and interpret this data. At the end of the chapter, the techniques have been explained with some examples where these were used successfully. |
