pancreatic cancer genomic data

To understand timing of occurrence of the genetic events in pancreatic carcinogenesis and progression by different races.

Scientific Questions Being Studied

To understand timing of occurrence of the genetic events in pancreatic carcinogenesis and progression by different races.

Project Purpose(s)

  • Ancestry

Scientific Approaches

Datasets: genome sequences of well known genes that are mutated at high frequency in pancreatic cancer (e.g., KRAS, CDKN2A, TP53, and SMAD4)
Research methods and tools: biological sequence analysis using python
Scientific question: differences in the timing of occurrence of the genetic events in pancreatic carcinogenesis and progression by races

Anticipated Findings

A lack of diversity has been especially evident in genomic studies. Our findings will fill this gap and provide new insights into options for customized therapeutic targeting.
