Tools, techniques, and progress in cancer biomarkers discovery The completion of a number of gene sequencing projects, recent advances in genomic and proteomic technologies, and the availability of powerful bioinformatics tools have led to promising new avenues and approaches in the search for cancer biomarkers.

The last few years have seen an unprecedented drive toward the application of proteomics to resolving challenging biomedical and biochemical tasks. Separation techniques combined with modern mass spectrometry are playing a central role in this drive. This book discusses the increasingly important role of mass spectrometry in proteomic research, and emphasizes recent advances in the existing technology and describes the advantages and pitfalls as well.* Provides a scientifically valid method for analyzing the approximatey 500,000 proteins that are encoded in the human genome* Explains the hows and whys of using mass spectrometry in proteomic analysis* Brings together the latest approaches combining separation techniques and mass spectrometry and their application in proteome analysis* Comments on future challenges and how they may be addressed* Includes sections on troubleshooting
