A Cancer Genome Interpreter to identify driver and actionable alterations in tumors
The use of genomic information is becoming a key piece of the oncology toolkit to make informed decisions aimed to improve the management of the disease and increase the cost-effectiveness of available therapies.
Our paper demonstrating that proteins bound to DNA impair Nucleotide Excision Repair published in Nature
I am very happy to announce that our manuscript describing the increased mutation rate in Transcription Factor Binding Sites (TFBS) in melanomas and lung tumors has been published in today's issue of Nature. In the manuscript we demonstrate that this accumulation is due to the impairment of Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) activity by proteins bound to DNA.
