Description

Technological advances in the form of next-generation sequencing allow sequencing of large numbers of different DNA sequences in a single/parallel reaction compared to conventional sequencing. It is a powerful tool which has enabled comprehensive characterization of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Whole-genome sequencing is the most comprehensive but expensive, whereas whole-exome sequencing is cost-effective, but it only works for the known genes. Thus, second-generation sequencing methods can provide a complete picture of the esophageal squamous cell carcinoma genome by detecting and discovering different type of alterations in the cancer which may lead to the development of effective diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
