In Lung Cancer, Silencing One Crucial Gene Disrupts Normal Functioning Of Genome

Wednesday, December 31, 2008 - 10:07 in Biology & Nature

While examining patterns of DNA modification in lung cancer, scientists have discovered what they say is a surprising new mechanism. They say that "silencing" of a single gene in lung cancer led to a general impairment in genome-wide changes in cells, contributing to cancer development and progression.
