The identification of biomarkers involves several steps and methodologies:
Genomic Studies: Techniques like genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are used to identify genetic markers associated with diseases. Proteomic Analysis: The study of proteins and their functions can reveal biomarkers related to specific diseases. Metabolomic Studies: The analysis of metabolites can provide insights into the metabolic changes associated with diseases. Clinical Trials: Biomarkers can be identified and validated through carefully designed clinical trials.
