Executive Summary
Molecular diagnostics is a combination of two disciplines: genomics and proteomics. Genomics is the study of all the genes in a cell or organism, while proteomics is the study of all the proteins. Molecular diagnostics determines how these genes and proteins interact in a cell and focuses upon gene and protein activity patterns in different cells. This information is captured as expression patterns.
