From Focus:
Comparative Genomics Fine-tunes Noisy Data
With genomic tools, scientists can view all the genetic changes in cancer cells. But researchers now face the challenge of figuring out which events are important and which are just a byproduct of an unstable genome. Lynda Chin led a study that suggests the effort of sorting out promising leads in human cancers can benefit from the mouse. Using genomic analyses of a mouse model of melanoma, her team uncovered a gene that helps these tumors spread.
