Search for Cancer Genes Could Be Aided By New Survey of DNA Alterations

140 regions of scrambled genetic code believed to contain many undiscovered cancer genes identified by a team led by scientists at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Broad Institute. They scanned the DNA of nearly 5,000 tumor sample. The researchers said the mapping of the abnormal regions gives cancer scientists a starting point from which to search for as-yet undiscovered oncogenes and broken tumor-suppressor genes, which allow cells to divide and grow uncontrollably. ...
