Livestream this lecture and join the conversation!\n\ nNew approaches to treating cancer through RNA analysis\n\nBrooks\, an expe rt in the analysis of RNA sequencing data\, is studying the role of RNA spl icing aberrations in cancer. RNA splicing is an editing process that enable s one gene to produce several different protein molecules. Mutations in the genes that regulate splicing are common in cancer cells. To investigate th e effects of these mutations\, Brooks and her team are developing the exper imental and computational tools needed to directly assess the RNA output of cancer cells and understand how changes in RNA processing affect cell func tion. This research could lead to novel approaches for treating cancer and other diseases in which splicing is abnormal.
