The editors of this book have commissioned an excellent series of chapters representing two key molecular diagnostic areas: cancer and infectious diseases. The cancer section deals with the challenges in identifying genetic, epigenetic, and transcriptomic biomarkers. The infectious disease section describes the current clinical applications of molecular diagnostics for the detection of viral, bacterial, and fu 606 $aMolecular diagnosis 606 $aCancer$xMolecular diagnosis 606 $aCommunicable diseases$xMolecular diagnosis 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMolecular diagnosis. 615 0$aCancer$xMolecular diagnosis. 615 0$aCommunicable diseases$xMolecular diagnosis. 676 $a616.0756 702 $aHuggett$b Jim F. 702 $aO'Grady$b Justin 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463988103321 996 $aMolecular diagnostics$91409820 997 $aUNINA
