Scientists at Australia’s Garvan Institute of Medical Research, led by Susan Clark, have achieved a first in the fight against cancer. The team have translated the breast cancer methylome, in what is seen as the next step after the decoding of the human genome. Methyl groups are attached to sections of DNA, and influence how genes are expressed in different cell types. Experts say the seminal work by Clark and her colleagues will bring major advances in cancer medicine
