Study identifies a new cancer cell state related to poor treatment response in ovarian cancer patients

The prognosis for ovarian cancer patients is grim: less than half of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) patients survive past five years from diagnosis. Initially, the tumors typically respond well to chemotherapy but become resistant after repeated treatments, enabling the cancer to regrow.

Study shows how 3D scaffolding of chromosomes is related across carnivore species

Studies comparing animal genomes generally focus on the DNA sequence itself. A new study by researchers at the University of California, Davis shows how the three-dimensional scaffolding of chromosomes is related across several species of carnivores, offering a new approach of "comparative scaffotyping" that could be used to identify related genes across species and place them in context.
