Genomics data covers all data related to DNA on living things. Although in this thesis we will also use other types of data like transcriptomic data (RNA and miRNA), for convenience purposes, all data will be termed as genomics data. Research on human genetics found a huge breakthrough in recent years due to the success of the HGP (1984-2000) on sequencing the full sequence of human DNA.
One of the areas that have been helped a lot due to this is the research of all diseases related to genetics, including cancer. Due to various biomedical analyses done on DNA, there exist various types of -omics or genomics data. Here are some types of -omics data that were crucial to cancer analysis:
- Raw sequencing data: ...
