Guide


A literature review is an exploration of the published literature on a particular topic. Sources of the published literaturemay include scholarly journal articles, books, government reports, and other sources. It has an introduction, a body and a conclusion.




  • Title (1 mark): A concise title of no more than 15 words


  • Introduction (5 marks)


Provide background on the topic and its importance, and state your objective.




  • Body (15 marks)


- Provide a description, summary and evaluation of each source and combine them into a logical whole.


- Analyse and interpret the literature, do not just paraphrase them


- Use subheadings, create a logical structure of the review




  • Conclusion (5 marks)


Summarise the key findings, emphasise their significance and suggestions forfuture research.




  • References and language (4 mark)


- References cited in text must appear in the reference list and vice versa (except for the sources whenno author can be identified - theseare cited in text and are not included in the reference list).


- Be consistent with the formatting style



-Clear and concise writing style.



-Appropriate use of scientific language.

· A Review on Importance of Functional Genomics in Study of Cancer
1.Introduction
The functional genomics approach to the study of cancer biology has a great deal of promise. Understanding the interplay between genes, proteins, and other cellular components to generate an observed phenotype is central to the field of functional genomics. The field of functional genomics investigates the context-dependent changes in the expression of gene products. It is possible to elucidate the malignant growth, metastases, and treatment approaches are governed by genetic collaboration and cellular specifics as a result of rigorous methods for altering specific genes in conjunction with statistical tests of carcinoma genetic traits caused by genetic as well as epigenetic changes. These technologies have made it possible to study cancer in greater detail. Because of this, it is now feasible to understand the variables that drive oncogenesis, the spread of cancer, and how well patients respond to treatment. Multiplexed genetic perturbations make it possible to analyze cooperative genetic lesions and to locate gene pairs that are synthetically lethal. This is possible because of the versatility of multiplexed genetic perturbations. These gene pairs offer special promise for the construction of new cancer therapeutics. In this analysis, we focus on the impact of both traditional and modern gene function techniques on the landscape of cancer research. Research in functional genomics investigates the role that the genome plays in the development of cancer. Systems biology analysis found trends in the genetics of disease that, in certain cases, can be added directly to the provision of precise cancer therapy. This is done by confirming theories developed via functional gene sequencing or by developing fresh ideas through work with cancerous cells.
2.Importance of Functional Genomics: Background work
A set of genes that are commonly modified, amplified, or deleted are shared by a number of distinct forms of cancer. In many cases, our understanding of the ways in which the stimulation or silencing of these chromosomes coordinate the growth of tumors is limited, despite the availability of data pertaining to genomics. (Bailey et al. 2018). In addition, mutations, amplifications, and deletions of multiple genes that are essential for the biology of tumors and the process of oncogenesis are rare (Luo et al. 2009). In many cases, it is unknown which gene products drive tumor spread, affect the tumor micro environment, either prevent cancerous cells from being recognized by the inflammatory response or increase treatment sensitivity. This can be a significant obstacle in the treatment of cancer. In reality, it is highly likely that the synchronized activity of a significant number of genes determines tissue specific morphologies for all of these aggressive disease. The process of determining how genes...
