Australians discover new DNA link
25th August 2014
Australian researchers have identified DNA sequences linked to brain and bone tumours that have never before been analysed, according to an article in the journal Nature Structural & Molecular Biology.
Using state-of-the-art whole genome sequencing, the Children’s Medical Research Institute (CMRI) scientists investigated the DNA of telomeres, identifying DNA sequences which may cause certain cancers.
The researchers, in the laboratory of Dr Hilda Pickett, also
