NCGR Software Enables Identification of Mutated Genes Unique to Mesothelioma Tumors
March 11th, 2008
The National Center for Genome Resources (NCGR) announced the launch of the first web-based software system specifically designed for analysis of ultra-high throughput DNA sequencing projects. The new software system, Alpheus(TM), will enable researchers to achieve highly scientifically meaningful results from massive DNA sequencing projects. Researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) announced that they had employed Alpheus(TM) to discover the unique genetic mutations of cancerous tumors in individual patients. This new approach may dramatically improve therapeutic decisions for cancer patients. BWH researchers used Alpheus(TM) to analyze the DNA sequences of...
