Study Examines Mechanism For Gene Alterations In Brain Tumors
Medical News Today. - July 15, 2009In a related article appearing in the July 15 issue of JAMA, researchers have identified the mechanism linked to the alteration of certain genes cited by Bredel et al in the previous study. Glioblastomas-uniformly fatal brain tumors-often have both monosomy (absence of 1 chromosome) o…

[LETTERS] A sequence-level map of chromosomal breakpoints in the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line yields insights into the evolution of a cancer genome
Genome Research. - February 05, 2009By applying a method that combines end-sequence profiling and massively parallel sequencing, we obtained a sequence-level map of chromosomal aberrations in the genome of the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. A total of 157 distinct somatic breakpoints of two distinct types, dispersed and…

[LETTERS] Comparative sequence analysis of primate subtelomeres originating from a chromosome fission event
Genome Research. - January 04, 2009Subtelomeres are concentrations of interchromosomal segmental duplications capped by telomeric repeats at the ends of chromosomes. The nature of the segments shared by different sets of human subtelomeres reflects their high rate of recent interchromosomal exchange. Here, we character…
