Angela N. Brooks, PhD

Project title

"Characterizing somatic mutations that affect mRNA splicing in cancer"

Dr. Brooks is analyzing cancer genome sequence data to identify DNA mutations that affect RNA splicing, a form of gene processing and regulation. By characterizing these mutations, her work will provide further understanding of the role of splicing alterations in cancer as well as insight into the functional consequences of cancer mutations.
