title: Bioinformatics and systems biology of cancers.
abstract: Molecular databases and bioinformatics methods and tools are essential for modern cancer research. Multilevel analyses of all the protein-coding genes, thousands of proteins, and hundreds of metabolites require integration in terms of signaling and metabolic pathways and networks. This chapter provides background and examples of genomic, gene expression, epigenomic, proteomic, and metabolomic investigations of cancer progression and emergence of invasive and metastatic properties of cancers.
