U-251 In Vitro Genome Sequencing Assay

This assay is to provide U-251-based In Vitro Genome Sequencing Assay to accelerate our client's oncology projects. The assay will be customized according to the specific requirements. Please contact our scientists to discuss more details.

U-251

Human

The U-251 cell line was established at the Wallenberg laboratory, Uppsala, Sweden, almost more than 40 years ago along with several other cell lines derived from human gliomas, and was derived from a male patient with malignant astrocytoma.

U-251-cell based In Vitro Genome Sequencing Assay

Genome sequencing is the most accurate and informative method used to identify gene mutations in basic biological and clinical research.

Genome Alteration Assays

Aberrant or somatic mutations are more commonly found in the DNA of cancer cells compared to normal cells. There is an equilibrium that exists between DNA damage and repair in normal cells. However, in cancer cells these events are disturbed, resulting in mutations and genomic instability. Genomic instability in cancer cells causes chromosomal aberrations, microsatellite instability, aneuploidy and uncontrolled gene amplifications and genetic instability in cancer cells are mainly due to point mutations or chromosomal aberrations such as insertions, deletions and translocation, resulting in mutated proteins.
