THE GORDON WILSON LECTURE: CANCER GENE VARIANT (RE)CLASSIFICATION: FROM TRUTHINESS TO TRUTH
1DALLAS, TEXAS.
Abstract:
The new genetics, defined as that which followed the completion of the human genome project and includes development of rapid and cheaper next-generation sequencing (NGS), is impacting our medical world in several ways (1). As is the case in any new area of medicine, the field is infused with "truthiness," where instead, what is needed for good patient care and scientific rigor is an effort to close in on the truth. Today, I'll discuss how variation in the human genome is being evaluated and re-evaluated as we sequence more and more of our patients' genes.

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.

Force Classification
Contact and non-contact forces are two of the most widely used categories of forces. As the name suggests, contact forces require physical contact between two objects to act upon each other. Examples of contact forces include frictional,...
