Molecular Pathway Analysis Using High-Throughput OMICS Molecular Data: Analysis of molecular pathway composition, architecture, and activation using high-throughput genomic, epigenetic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic data

The field molecular pathway analysis evolves rapidly, and many progressive methods have recently been discovered. Molecular Pathway Analysis Using High-Throughput OMICS Data contains the largest collections of molecular pathways. For the first time, guidelines on how to do genomic, epigenetic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic data analysis in real-world research practice are given. Molecular Pathway Analysis Using High-Throughput OMICS Molecular Data also focuses on the pathway analysis applications for solving tasks in biotechnology, pharmaceutics, and molecular diagnostics It demonstrates how pathway analysis can be applied for the research and treatment of chronic and acute diseases, for next-generation molecular diagnostics, for drug design and preclinical testing; relevant real-world examples, molecular tests, and web resources will be reviewed in-depth. The book shows a tendency of erasing the borders between chemistry, physics, informatics, mathematics, biology, and medicine by means of novel research approaches and instruments, providing a truly multidisciplinary approach.
