Because the pathophysiology of cancer is linked to alteration of cellular gene expression, the bioinformatics toolbox promises to offer countless molecular insights into mechanisms, diagnostics, and new medical interventions for cancer. (veterinarypracticenews.com)
To do this, the scientists based their sequence inputs on microRNA, small RNA molecules that regulate cellular gene expression. (sciencedaily.com)
Dr. Verma's major research interests are cellular genes whose alteration can cause cancer and the development of techniques for gene therapy. (salk.edu)
