Create a map of the threat from the point of view of cancer genes
American scientists have identified more than 760 genes, which are associated with an increase in the chances of survival of cancer cells.
American scientists have identified more than 760 genes, which are associated with an increase in the chances of survival of cancer cells. The dependence they have put on the chart. A map is available on the official website of the study published in the journal Cell.
Cancer cells may contain genetic errors. If the error turns off an important gene, the cancer cells activates another gene to survive.
Researchers from mit, Harvard University and the cancer Institute Dana-Faber, conducted an experiment with more than 500 cell lines — groups of specially cultured cells, which represented more than 20 types of cancer. To keep track of what genetically depends on the development of each cancer cell biologists have suppressed them for the process of turning DNA into RNA (scientists call this process interference RNA) and made “shut up” about 17 thousand genes.
