Molecular profiling typically involves several steps:
Tissue Collection: Samples are collected from patients via biopsy or surgery. Sample Preparation: Tissues are processed to extract nucleic acids and proteins. High-Throughput Analysis: Techniques such as next-generation sequencing (NGS), microarrays, and mass spectrometry are used to analyze the molecular components. Data Interpretation: Bioinformatics tools and algorithms are employed to interpret the vast amount of data generated.
