This talk will highlight newer generation SNP arrays and massively parallel Next Generation DNA sequencing technologies for complete genome characterization of Cancer will helps in advancing Cancer Sciences and leading to discovery of novel molecular subclasses, new therapeutic targets and biomarkers for clinical development. In addition, this talk will discuss  how by using these and conventional technologies will help to the identification of causal alterations in human cancer and discovery of  novel somatic activating alterations at FGFR2, EGFR, AKT, PDGFRA and FGFR1 mutations in endometrial cancer, lung squamous carcinoma and cervical carcinoma. Finally, it will discuss the recent advances in discovery and characterization of  some novel potentially therapeutic target in Indian samples of lung carcinomas and head and neck cancer.
