Every nine minutes, someone in the US dies from blood cancer which accounts for about 10 percent of all cancer deaths. And, every three minutes, one person in the US is diagnosed with a blood cancer — about 170,000 people ...

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a group of single-stranded RNAs in closed circular form. They are splicing-generated, widely expressed in various tissues and have functional implications in development and diseases. To facilitate genome-wide characterization of circRNAs using RNA-Seq data, researchers from ...

from OncologyNurseAdvisor by Kathy Boltz The molecular characteristics of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have been decoded, and these findings were published in Nature Genetics by an international team of European scientists from Berlin, Düsseldorf, Hannover, Heidelberg, Kiel, and Zurich. This ...

Detailed molecular analyses allow new insights into the function of tumour cells and new treatments Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common type of cancer in children. It can occur in various forms, differing by specific changes in the ...

The recent exponential increase in the number of next generation sequencing studies provides a new source of data for the discovery of functional genomics based markers. RNA-seq and small RNA-seq provide a new source for the discovery of differentially expressed ...
