Genomics and transcriptomics approaches for improved cancer biomarker discovery and verification
Research into cancer genomics and transcriptomics is advancing our understanding of cancer development and progression. Genomics approaches for biomarker discovery can lead to the identification and validation of potential diagnostic, predictive, prognostic, and therapeutic cancer biomarkers in the future.
Thermo Fisher Scientific offers a variety of cancer genomics and transcriptomics solutions to help you solve the most urgent challenges in cancer research today:
- Uncover cryptic tumor heterogeneity
- Extract data from limited and challenging samples, such as FFPE tissues or cell-free DNA (cfDNA) samples
- Obtain key insights from vast amounts of data generated by multiple technologies
- Choose the right technology for each stage of biomarker discovery and verification
Cancer research areas
Solid tumor profiling for improved stratification
Extract more information from your FFPE samples with a multi-omic approach by combining somatic mutation and copy number variation profiling, fusion gene analysis, and transcriptome profiling using our NGS, Sanger sequencing, microarray, and qPCR solutions.
Liquid biopsy analysis for identification and monitoring of genomic abnormalities
Track genomic abnormalities, such as somatic mutations, copy number variations, and fusion genes, even against the background of dynamic tumor heterogeneity in cell-free nucleic acid (cfNA) samples with our targeted NGS and digital PCR assays.
Immuno-oncology biomarker discovery beyond PD-1/PD-L1
Discover the next-generation of biomarkers to enable better patient stratification with best-in-class tools for the analysis of tumor mutation burden (TMB), T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire, microsatellite instability (MSI), chromothripsis, tumor aneuploidy, and more.
