Transcriptomic analysis reveals differential gene expression in African American prostate cancer samples

23 Aug 2023

Prostate cancer is the most frequent cancer in men in the Western world, and its incidence is rapidly increasing. In addition, population-based studies demonstrate that African Americans in the United States have an increased risk of developing prostate cancer. Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, the molecular mechanisms underlying prostate cancer disparity in African American are not fully understood yet. In this whitepaper from Beckman Coulter Life Sciences, explore a proof of principle study to identify transcriptomic signatures in the African American population using FFPE and fresh frozen samples.

Gene Expression and Molecular CloningMolecular cloning is a set of techniques that utilizes vectors to transfer recombinant DNA into host cells and is an essential tool for investigating the expression of genes and proteins in bacterial or mammalian cells. A variety of vectors optimized for gene cloning and expression in a range of host organisms are available, alongside competent cells for genetic replication. Here, you can explore a range of molecular tools, high-quality genomic and cDNA libraries, premade clones, transformation and transfection reagents and mutagenesis or gene expression detection assays and expression arrays. Find the best gene expression and molecular cloning products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.TranscriptomicsProstate CancerCancer ResearchAlthough cancer is often referred to as a single condition, it actually consists of more than 100 different diseases. Microscopy, mass spectrometry, high throughput sequencing and flow cytometry are some of the most common techniques employed in cancer research labs.
