There have been several attempts made to understand the genetics of the cancer cell through whole genome sequencing. However, by simply comparing mutations found in a tumor cell with those found in healthy tissue it is not possible to determine which mutation was the driving factor leading to the development of the tumor cell. Our unique approach is to analyze not the tumor cells but, instead, to look at healthy somatic cells in individuals that have developed familial colon cancer. Our central hypothesis is that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), copy number variations (CNVs), and other genomic variations in the human genome contribute to disease heritability. The strength of this project also lies in the multidisciplinary competence of the participating investigators. Four research groups are involved with expertise in oncology, genetics, bioinformatics and DNA repair/replication systems. Data mining the human genome using next generation sequencing technologies has created great opportunities to identify common, disease-causing mutations. These will in turn be analyzed in different model systems for understanding the molecular mechanisms of colon cancer.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black'><br>To this project, we are now searching for a person to conduct research based on next-generation sequencing and data analysis.
