CancerVar: A New Bioinformatics Tool Developed for Clinical Interpretation of Cancer Mutations

XTalks

CancerVar will help researchers standardize and automate clinical interpretations for 13 million somatic mutations from 1,911 cancer census genes. The gene mutations that cause sporadic cancer occur only in the tumor cells and are acquired during an individual’s life, not inherited.

LabCorp Backs Resolution Bioscience’s Liquid Biopsy Test for NSCLC

XTalks

The test is based on the detection of actionable genesgenes with known driver mutations that can be targeted by an approved therapy (or investigational therapies in clinical trials). The panel of genes in the test only include known NSCLC-associated genes, making the test specific to the disease. Personalized Approach.

The future of genomic medicine: can it fulfil its promises?

pharmaphorum

While there may be just under 20,000 confirmed protein coding genes, it turns out that much of the genome outside of these genes is also important in regulating how the genome is controlled. For example, we know that not all genes are expressed in all tissues and that not all genes are expressed during all developmental stages.”.
