Abstract excerpt
To provide a more comprehensive understanding of the genes and evolutionary forces driving colorectal cancer (CRC) progression, we performed Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon mutagenesis screens in mice carrying sensitizing mutations in genes that act at different stages of tumor progression. This approach allowed us to identify a set of genes that appear to be highly relevant for CRC and to provide a better...
