A new study finds strong evidence that bacteria can transfer genes into human genomes, especially in cancer cells.

Mole rats hold the key to a cure for cancer

Researchers in Andhra Pradesh have developed a database to identify genes that are common in tumours to provide their colleagues with easy access to insights into the genetic alterations in cancer.

ratt.sourceforge.net - RATT is software to transfer annotation from a reference (annotated) genome to an unannotated query genome. It was first developed to transfer annotations between different genome assembly versions. However, it can also transfer annotations between...

They are using the latest DNA sequencing technology to read the genetic makeup of cancer cells within tumours in ever greater detail, teasing out patterns of evolution (evolutionary rule books), cancer heterogeneity and working out what changes have...

We study mechanisms of cancer evolution by using state-of-the-art genomic approaches at the bench and in analysis. Accurate genome reconstruction is our other major area of interest. We also collaborate on important questions for which our expertise...

Lab focuses on examining the mechanisms governing the signalling pathways from DNA damage sensing to the activation of stress-response genes. The long-term goal is to find proteins that are drug targets for cancer treatment (such as radiosensitizers...

A Brief Introduction to Genetics is a short documentary film that explores the history of genetics & genomics and the underlying concepts that provide the foundational knowledge that today's research is built upon. The film describes the history of...

analog -- A feature that appears similar in two taxa which have originated from two different ancestors. ancestor -- Any organism, population, or species from which some other organism, population, or species is descended by...

The successful candidate will work as support staff mainly in the development, application and maintenance of pipelines for handling large omics datasets (including whole-genome sequences, high-density genotypes and mRNA sequences). These pipelines...
