Data-Handling Technique Finds Genes To Be Team Players In Curbing Brain Cancer Cell Growth

The search for cancer genes is increasingly a matter of molecular “To Tell the Truth,” as scientists seek to distinguish genes actually involved in the disease from those that are imposters. Powerful gene-scanning technology often reveals hundreds or thousands of genetic irregularities in tumor tissue, making it critical for investigators to winnow out the true culprits.
