New Tool Helps Identify Pancreatic Cancer Genes

Researchers have identified a new tool that can help spot genetic links to pancreatic cancer in mice. The new technique works by introducing sections of DNA known as piggBac transposons into the mouse genome. These DNA sections jump around within the genome and reinsert themselves at random, which...
