CNIO Researcher Revises the Role of Cohesin in Cancer

Massive sequencing of cancer genomes every day brings to light new genes that could be involved in the process of tumour formation. A good example of this is cohesin, a ring-shaped protein complex that embraces DNA to control cell division. Just a few months ago, and after several studies in the same direction, the sequencing of thousands of tumour samples identified the STAG2 gene-whose product forms part of cohesin-as one of the most frequently mutated genes ...
