Algorithm identifies networks of genetic changes across cancers

Monday, December 15, 2014 - 17:00 in Health & Medicine

Using a computer algorithm that can sift through mounds of genetic data, researchers have identified several networks of genes that, when hit by a mutation, could play a role in the development of multiple types of cancer. The researchers hope the new genetic insights might aid in the development of new drugs and treatment approaches for cancer.
