Drug Target Review

During the process of transformation from a normal cell into a cancer cell, a cell acquires a series of changes, or mutations, in its DNA. But DNA mutations can also result in changes to the proteins that are displayed on the surface of the cancer cell. Neoantigens are recognised as non-self and trigger an immune response.

He is being recognised for illuminating research contributions to defining the links between chromosomal abnormalities and cancer, including his discovery of TMPRSS2-ETS gene fusions in prostate cancer, and for pioneering the use of pathological and bioinformatic methodologies to diagnose and track prostate cancer onset and progression.

Allison Berke makes the case for real-time DNA sequencing and AI tools to detect pathogens before they spread widely. Reading DNA The first step in detecting a novel pathogen is recognizing it as an anomaly amidst a noisy background of other material. After copying the DNA to form a big pool, each piece is sequenced.

Many of the links below are to some of the 100+ DNA Science posts that I wrote during the pandemic. Other genomic databases were retooled for the huge datasets that COVID was generating, such as the Cloud Institute for Microbial Bioinformatics, begun in 2014 and rechristened the COVID-19 Genomics UK Consortium ( COG-UK ).

It’s been very exciting to integrate genetics, bioinformatics, biochemistry, and structural biology approaches in one study to understand this fascinating molecular system.” In humans and plants, the STAND ATPase proteins fight infection by recognizing patterns in a pathogen itself or in the cell’s response to infection.

Vitamin C boosts DNA demethylation in TET2 germline mutation carriers Published in Clinical Epigenetics This interesting study looked at a single family harbouring a germline mutation in the TET2 that is associated with lymphoma. Quite rightly the authors conclude that these positive results support a prospective clinical trial.
