Scientific Questions Being Studied
To understand timing of occurrence of the genetic events in colorectal cancer 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 colorectal cancer
Research methods and tools: biological sequence analysis using python
Scientific question: differences in the timing of occurrence of the genetic events in colorectal cancer 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.
Demographic Categories of Interest
