A graduate student who has not taken BIOL 519 thinks they have discovered a new oncogene that could cause breast cancer. The student transfects cells with this oncogene and finds that the cells proliferate uncontrollably. The student next designs a PCR assay that will detect the presence of the oncogene in cancerous breast tissue. The student sets up the assay and analyzes the presence of the oncogene in normal and tumor issue samples (See data below). The student is disappointed to see that the potential oncogene is present at similar levels in both the normal and tumor tissue. Therefore, the student concludes that this gene is not an oncogene. Do you agree with this conclusion? Justify your answer (5-6 senetences max). Oncogene? GADPH Normal Tumor Tumor 2 Tumor

Genomic studies

Genomic studies (genomics) is the study of the whole genome of an organism. Using bioinformatics and high-performance computing, genomic researchers examined massive amounts of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-sequence data to discover variations or mutations that affect drug response, health, or disease. Genomics is a much younger discipline than genetics, having only emerged in the last few decades as a result of technological advancements in DNA sequencing and computational biology.
