Today the information could be the basis of further development by collecting, saving, structuring and analyzing them. Inside the living organism and inside viruses the biochemical storage system was evolved. The linear coding inside macromolecular structures could create and store a series of building block combinations along the chain structure. Those chemical structures are the so called information coding macromolecules, for example, the polypeptides and nucleic acids. Analysis of the genetically coded functionalities of tumor cells has a great impact in the oncological setting. The connected functions of inherited or acquired alterations inside the tumor cell clones are the main contributors of tumor evolution and surviving, although provide a way to target possible mechanism and touch points. Today the oncodiagnostic use of next generation sequencing technology focus on tumor evolution and tumor surviving connected gene set analysis. This kind of gene panel analysis connected to NGS technology is enough enforced – enforced enough – to reach the diagnostic level, but one still need to take care about the quality and standardization to meet the IVD conditions.
