Episode notes
“With close to gene-expression data from one million biological contexts in the public repositories, researchers can identify disease trends without ever having to enter a laboratory.” Monya Baker.
Although the excitement of NGS technologies and the promise of transcriptome sequencing to both detect and discover novel genes is becoming trendy, there is no disagreement on the usefulness of the millions of gene expression profiles from microarrays in public repositories in biomarker discovery. As rightly described by Monya Baker, perhaps, one can identify disease trends without entering a laboratory as demonstrated by researchers at Stanford.
