Can You Detect Cancer Mutations in Kansas Cells?
Next generation sequencing has made it possible to measure and analyze very small amounts of the diana within the blood stream with increasing sensitivity. We can use these technologies to measure the absolute amount of circulating medna and also to sequencet and identify specific cancer mutations. The mechanism by which cells are switching on and off different segments of geans, that those control mechanisms,. ar epigenetic controls, are also quite abnormal in kansas cells compared to normal celves.
