Mutation: the changing of the structure of a gene, resulting in a variant form that may be transmitted to subsequent generations, caused by the alteration of single base units in DNA, or the deletion, insertion, or rearrangement of larger sections of genes or chromosomes.
DATE: November 29, 2017TIME: 10:00 AM PSTThe three human RAS genes (HRAS, KRAS and NRAS) encode four highly related RAS small GTPases (HRAS, KRAS4A, KRAS4B and NRAS). RAS proteins funct...
Derivation of many different cell types from human pluripotent stem cells (embryonic stem cells or HESCs and induced pluripotent stem cells or hiPS cells) is an area of growing interest both ...

Nanopore sequencing has enormous potential for application to cancer, but specifically offers advantages into two main arenas, epigenetics and structural variation. Methylation is well-known...
There has been a great deal of renewed attention in immuno-oncology over the last decade. Therapies for cancer are being developed, approved, and administered that can either initiate,...
The manipulation of the genome to study disease, evaluate drug targets and to stratify patient populations is now a widely accepted concept in the field. At Horizon Discovery, genome engineer...
