Gene signatures
Gene signatures describe specific, unique characteristics of a group of genes located in a biological cell or tissue. Gene signatures can be used to diagnose diseases, including cancer. Additionally, understanding gene signatures can inform on the prognosis of disease or determine optimal treatment planning.
