St. Jude Researcher Uses RNA Interference to Look at Genes Role in Cancer Drug Sensitivity

Dec 12, 2003
Premium

At St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, John Nitiss is trying to figure out just how certain cancer drugs — those that target topoisomerases — work. In doing so, he is hoping to specifically discover where they interact on the enzyme and what exactly is going on in a cancer cell once the drug begins to act on the enzyme.

While Nitiss previously conducted this drug action research in yeast, he is now turning his attention to mammalian cells with the help of RNA interference.

How Low Can You Go? Reduce Breeding Costs with an Optimized Genotyping and Analysis Strategy

Sponsored by
NRGene

Molecular breeding methods such as genomic selection and genome-wide association studies often require high-density genotypic data from many samples, but the cost and complexity of genotyping at this scale may be prohibitive.
