In simple terms: a mutation is a stable change in genetic sequence that can be copied when cells or viruses replicate. Most mutations have no detectable effect, some contribute to disease, and a small ...
A major goal of cancer biology is to understand the mechanisms driven by somatically acquired mutations. Two distinct methodologies—one analyzing mutation clustering within protein sequences and 3D ...
Elucidating the molecular dependencies behind the cancer-type specificity of driver mutations may reveal new therapeutic opportunities. We hypothesized that developmental programs would impact the ...
When cell growth gets out of control and malignant cells begin to proliferate, cancer can develop in a process known as tumorigenesis. There are always errors in cell division in every body, but ...
The illustration of protein structure (domains) on the left side, and corresponding exons in the FLT3 gene are displayed on the right side. FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutations represent some ...
