Article: Advancements in Genomics and Proteomics Broaden the Role of Biomarkers in Healthcare.

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- Having successfully deciphered the human genome, researchers are now shifting focus to solve the riddle of human proteome - that is proteins - the ultimate product of gene expression. This, in turn, is aiding the discovery of protein-based biomarkers that are expected to play a major role in drug discovery, molecular diagnostics, and personalized medicine.

"Interpreting proteomics is likely to be a daunting task as proteins are more complex than nucleic acids," says Technical Insights Analyst S. Ravi Shankar. "Hence, technologies and instruments used for these experiments should be capable of adapting to the higher complexity and fragility of ...
