Product Overview
Cancer , also known as a malignant tumor or malignant neoplasm, is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. Genetic alterations is the fundamental cause of cancer. Therefore researches on cancer genomics can reveal the molecular mechanisms of cancerinogenesis and identify potential targets for therapy.
Recently, tumor driver genes are recognized as the major “engine” that drive tumorigenesis. Mygenostics Tumor Driver gene panel and Mouse Tumor Driver Gene panel conclude all known tumor driver genes, which allow researchers to scan 277 human tumor driver genes or 259 mouse tumor driver gene through Next-generation-sequencing platforms in different types of samples efficiently.
In addition, Mygenostics cancer genomics research system make the sequencing of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) precisely with very high sensitivity. CtDNA analysis has already become a very effective tool for cancer researchers. Based on the tumor driven gene capture and ctDNA analysis, Mygenostics has also developed the “Oncocare system” which can be applied to monitor tumor load simply through plasma sample during the cancer treatment.
