Prostate Cancer

Research from Johns Hopkins University provides new data on prostate cancer

Published in Proteomics Weekly, October 27th, 2008

According to recent research from the United States, "Prostate cancer cell lines provide ideal in vitro systems for the identification and analysis of prostate tumor suppressors and oncogenes. A detailed characterization of the architecture of prostate cancer cell line genomes would facilitate the study of precise roles of various genes in prostate tumorigenesis in general."

"To contribute to such a characterization, we used the GeneChip 500K single nucleotide polymorphic ( SNP) array for analysis of genotypes and relative DNA copy number changes across the genome of 11 cell lines derived from both normal and cancerous prostate tissues. For comparison purposes, we also...
