Researchers in histology utilize genomic databases to:
- Identify Genetic Markers: By comparing tissue samples with reference genomic data, researchers can identify genetic markers associated with specific diseases. - Analyze Gene Expression: Linking histological features with gene expression data helps elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying tissue structure and function. - Study Disease Progression: Genomic databases enable the study of genetic alterations over time, providing insights into disease progression and histopathological changes. - Develop Targeted Therapies: Understanding the genetic basis of diseases through genomic data can lead to the development of targeted therapies, improving treatment outcomes.
