The Era of Genomic Research for Lymphoma: Looking Back and Forward

Abstract

Technological and informatics advances as well as the availability of well-annotated and reliable genomic data have ushered in the era of genomics research. We describe in this brief review how the genomics approach has impacted lymphoma research in the understanding of the pathogenesis and biology of lymphoma, in lymphoma diagnosis and in targeted therapy. Some exciting directions that could be explored in the future are also discussed.
