Abstract
Global or selective alterations in gene expression patterns and / or post-translational modifications in protein profiles underlie the genesis of potentially all physiological or pathological processes. Unraveling the complexities of these events requires in-depth analysis of intracellular changes at the molecular level. The present review describes some of the techniques employed to identify novel genes, to determine changes in global gene expression patterns and to evaluate qualitative and quantitative changes at the level of encoded proteins. The successful application of these approaches has revolutionized our knowledge and understanding of many fatal diseases and is also facilitating the development of novel and specific therapeutic modalities for improving treatment.

Deep learning in Single Cell Analysis
The field of biology is undergoing a revolution in our ability to study individual cells at the molecular level, and to integrate data from multiple sources and modalities. This has been made possible by advances in technologies for single-cell sequencing, multi-omics profiling, spatial transcriptomics, and high-throughput imaging, as well as ...read more
New insights on Pediatric Tumors and Associated Cancer Predisposition Syndromes
Because of the broad spectrum of children cancer susceptibility, the diagnosis of cancer risk syndromes in children is rarely used in direct cancer treatment. The field of pediatric cancer genetics and genomics will only continue to expand as a result of increasing use of genetic testing tools. It's possible that ...read more
