Omics
Large biological data sets including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, epigenomics, and metabolomics.
Genomics
The study of the genome, including gene function and genetic variants that increase disease risk.
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)
A method that fragments DNA into smaller pieces for efficient sequencing and genome mapping.
Sanger Sequencing
An older sequencing method that allowed transcription of relatively large molecules, but was expensive.
Transcriptomics
The study of RNA produced by both the virus and host cells during viral infection.
Proteomics
The study of all proteins produced by an organism, including viruses.
Metabolomics
The study of small metabolites produced in biological processes.
CFTR channel
A channel that causes cystic fibrosis when mutated; different mutations affect therapy response.
HER-2/neu receptor mutation
A mutation for which breast cancer patients must be tested to determine eligibility for Herceptin therapy.
RAS mutation
A mutation that serves as a resistance marker for tumor responsiveness to EGFR therapies.
EFGR (anti-epidermal growth factor receptor)
A target for therapies like Erbitux; mutation status must be tested for treatment eligibility.
cystic fibrosis
A genetic disorder caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, affecting lung function.
personalized medicine
Tailored drug therapy based on an individual's genetic and epigenetic information.
driver and passenger mutations
Terms used to classify mutations based on their role in cancer progression.
bulk sequencing
Sequencing that systematically identifies variations in the entire genome.
genetic variants
Differences in DNA sequences that can affect disease risk and treatment.
human sequencing project
A project that significantly accelerated the understanding of the human genome.
