Changes in genes are a major cause of cancer. They can disrupt normal cell function. According to the COSMIC database, there are 626 genes whose mutations lead to uncontrolled cell growth. A new study has identified 813 genes that promote cancer growth through a previously overlooked molecular mechanism.
Scientists used an algorithm called Spotter to analyze genetic data and identify genes involved in the splicing. It turned out that the splicing could be an independent mechanism that complements known mutational pathways that cause cancer.
In the future, this technology could help develop more precise treatments and improve our understanding of cancer.
