Multi-Omics Model Applied to Cancer Genetics

Int J Mol Sci. 2021 May 27;22(11):5751. doi: 10.3390/ijms22115751.

Abstract

In this review, we focus on bioinformatic oncology as an integrative discipline that incorporates knowledge from the mathematical, physical, and computational fields to further the biomedical understanding of cancer. Before providing a deeper insight into the bioinformatics approach and utilities involved in oncology, we must understand what is a system biology framework and the genetic connection, because of the high heterogenicity of the backgrounds of people approaching precision medicine. In fact, it is essential to providing general theoretical information on genomics, epigenomics, and transcriptomics to understand the phases of multi-omics approach. We consider how to create a multi-omics model. In the last section, we describe the new frontiers and future perspectives of this field.

Keywords: artificial intelligence; cancer disease; computational oncology; data analysis; machine learning models; omics tools; precision medicine.
