Next Generation Sequencing in Cancer Research

This volume providesan interdisciplinary perspective ofapplying Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to cancer research. It aimsto systematically introduce the concept of NGS, a variety of NGS platforms and their practical implications in cancer biology.This unique and comprehensive textwill integrate the unprecedented NGS technology into various cancerresearch projectsas opposed to most books which offera detaileddescription of the technology. This volume willpresent true experimental results with concrete data processing pipelines, discuss the bottleneck of each platform for real project in cancer research.In additional, single cancer cell sequencing as the proof of concept will be introduced in this book, along with cutting-edge information providedwill help the intended audience to develop a comprehensive understanding of theNGS technology and practical whole genome sequencing data analysis and rapidly translate into their own research, specifically in the field of cancer biology.
