High-throughput technologies have become essential for the discovery and analysis of genetic networks underlying cancer. Recent technological advancements, in particular next-generation sequencing, allow for a more comprehensive analysis of complex molecular interactions that accompany neoplastic transformation and tumor progression. The concerted use of these approaches to discover and characterize genetic and epigenetic events that are relevant to oncogenesis is one of the current challenges in the field of functional genomics applied to cancer research.
