Abstract:

Epigenetic modifications, and in particular the acetylation and deacetylation of histones are major contributors to carcinogenesis and form an increasingly important area in cancer research. The ultimate goal of cancer research lies in the analysis and organization of the increasing amount of data and also the discovery of novel therapeutic or diagnostic options. This article reviewsthe various efficient bioinformatics methods for cancer research. The main concepts and principles for the important and commonly used bioinformatics methods are introduced. In addition, a list of available software and databases are provided. Finally, future directions and challenges for the development and applications of various techniques are discussed. We suggest that the evaluation of such technologies could form the important steps in the future development of successful cancer therapeutic options
