Zhiguo Zhang, Ph.D. and colleagues from the Center for Individualized Medicine, offer a new tool for genomic research, through a new method revealing genome-wide association of proteins with leading and lagging strands of DNA replication forks. This will provide a tool for studying the general replication-related processes and a specific mechanism that makes this possible. […]

Findings Reveal Relationship with TP63 & p63 Protein Expression in Lung Adenocarcinoma
By Center for Individualized Medicine
Using next-generation sequencing analysis of mate-pair DNA libraries, a group of researchers from the Center for Individualized Medicine recently identified novel chromosomal rearrangements involving TP63 in approximately 6% in peripheral T-cell lymphomas and demonstrated that these were associated with a poorer overall survival than lymphomas without these rearrangements. These rearrangements also were found in occasional B-cell […]
