METHOD FOR TANDEM GENOMIC/PROTEOMIC ANALYSES OF PROLIFERATING CELLS

摘要

A novel process for producing data characterizing nucleic acids in proliferating cells using a tandem protocol for simultaneously building and expanding genomics/proteomics cancer databases while coordinating present and future genomic/proteomic individual patient assays by collecting a tissue sample including the proliferating cells; mechanically dividing the sample into cohesive multicellular particulates, and growing and analyzing the resulting cells. Sets of genetic data can be analyzed along with sets of corresponding clinical data, including phenotypic data, to form profiles that can aid in identifying proliferative diseases and in prognoses. A method for diagnosing proliferative diseases using the described assay methods is also provided. Lastly, a computing device is provided which permits searching analysis and entry of the genetic data, the corresponding clinical data and/or profiles.
