Five-phase cancer research workflow targeting zinc finger nuclease (ZNF) protein characterization and drug discovery. The sequence progresses from literature analysis through ZNF characterization, regulatory factor analysis, drug discovery, to multigene signature design, with iterative feedback loops between analysis phases. Addresses a critical research gap where 75% of ZNFs remain unexplored, requiring multi-target drug models to identify regulatory factors across cancer pathways. Researchers can fork this workflow template on Diagrams.so to adapt phases for specific cancer types, customize analysis steps, or integrate with lab information management systems. Export as SVG for grant proposals or embed in research protocols to standardize ZNF investigation pipelines.
