Description: This book describes and illustrates the latest genomic and molecular techniques that are rapidly transforming the practice of clinical neuro-oncology and the direction of scientific investigation in modern brain tumor research. Each of the chapters provides a review of a specific subfield of contemporary molecular neuro-oncology, including recently implemented diagnostic and research applications. Among the important technical areas covered are the analysis of genomic instability, approaches to tumor invasion and angiogenesis, animal models, gene expression profiling, tissue microarray technology, mRNA splicing, functional genomics and genomics informatics. This book focuses on the latest genomics, molecular, and informatic approaches to neuro-oncology.
