New study finds altered DNA replication timing linked to mutations in lung and breast cancer

This study found that changes in DNA replication timing during cell division are associated with increased rates of mutation and specific patterns of mutation in lung and breast cancers. This is important because understanding these alterations could help in identifying early cancer changes thus improving detection and treatment. This was published by the Lung Cancer Interception Team, an Accelerator Program collaboration with LUNGEVITY and Stand up 2 Cancer.
