Preface The first edition of Molecular Profiling (published in 2012) was at the forefront of the personalized medicine movement. The first edition included reviews of genomics and genomic profiling, technologies which in the intervening years have rapidly evolved into routine clinical assays for detecting mutations. Mass spectrometry for protein profiling has also evolved into sensitive and specific multiple reaction monitoring assays, enabling quantification of prot
