Layered on top of our genes is an additional set of information -- the epigenome, which is important for many cellular activities. Disruption of the epigenome is a major hallmark of cancer development. MD Anderson researcher Kunal Rai, Ph.D., is focused on better understanding the epigenome’s role in cancer.
Rai’s team has recently published studies in Cancer Cell and Cell Reports that report a key role for the epigenetic regulator...
Although a tumor may start from a single cancer cell, it can eventually become millions of cells with unique characteristics. This diversity...
All of the DNA in our cells is organized into complex structures called chromosomes, which consist of our genetic material coiled around many...
