What Are the Key Findings of the ENCODE Project Relevant to Cancer?
The ENCODE Project has uncovered numerous insights that are significant for cancer research:
Identification of enhancers and promoters that regulate gene expression, many of which are involved in cancer. Mapping of chromatin states and understanding how alterations in these states can lead to cancer. Discovery of non-coding RNAs and their roles in gene regulation and cancer progression. Insights into the epigenetic modifications that can lead to cancer.
