Genome Sequencing is Witnessing Considerable Growth due to Advancement in Modern Technology

The DNA enclosed in the cell makes up our genome. Genomics is basically a study of sequence of letters in the DNA and how each thread transfers information to help cells in the body system to work properly. In cancer, minor changes in these genetic letters can change the meaning of what a genomic word means. A change in single letter can propel the cell to make a protein that won’t allow the cell to work properly. The study of cancer genome has revealed many abnormalities in genes that has driven the growth of many various types of cancers.

The Genomics in Cancer Care market is segmented by application, technology and end users. On the basis of application, the genomics cancer care market is divided into diagnostics, personalized machines, drug discovery, development and research. Based on technology, the market is divided into genome sequencing, purification and nucleic acid extraction, microarray, bioinformatics and flowcytometry. Based on end users, the genomics cancer care market is segmented into hospitals, academic researches and clinical procedures. Factors such as growing need for personalized medicines, increased R&D activities and growing investments in pharma industry are some of the positive factors for the growth of this market.

Genome sequencing is witnessing considerable growth due to advancement in modern technology and excessive use of genomics in diagnostic sector.
