Abstract
Despite years of international effort, cancer remains a major cause of death in developed countries, claiming more than 500 000 lives per year in the United States alone. Recombinant DNA technology and high throughput screening methods have recently increased the pace of cancer research. In this review, we will examine the impact and contribution of phage display technology to this area of research. As a biological combinatorial system, the strength of phage display lies in its flexibility and its ability to efficiently study protein-protein interactions. The technology has also facilitated the discovery of molecules that have potential roles in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Artificial Intelligence in Bioinformatics
Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that analyzes and explores biological data. This field combines biology and information system. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has attracted great attention as it tries to replicate human intelligence. It has become common technology for analyzing and solving complex data and problems and encompasses sub-fields of machine ...read more
