This tutorial is intended for advocates interested in learning more about genetics and genomics and the role of this emerging field in cancer research. The publication covers the science behind genomics, including scientific concepts and examples of how genomic technology is currently being incorporated into clinical research. To help bring this information to life, the module also includes basic definitions, diagrams, and graphics - all in an effort to de-mystify the science and technology. Development of this publication was supported by an educational grant from Genomic Health. PDF version is not available for this publication.
