Cancer genetics and genomics is the study of how our genetic profiles are linked to the onset or progression of malignancies. Mutations leading to cancer can be inherited or acquired (also called somatic). Cancer genetics and genomic studies evaluate how such mutations relate to cancer. Additionally, genetic and genomic studies can determine how an individual will respond to therapy and may help determine the best course of treatment for cancer.
Cancer disparities among persons of African descent are driven by both biological and nonbiological factors. There is evidence in breast cancer that psychosocial factors (environment, socioe...
Changes in transcriptional regulation are thought to be one of the key drivers of carcinogenesis. Although next-generation sequencer revolutionized transcriptome analysis, there are limitati...
