The use of Sleeping Beauty transposons as somatic mutagens to discover cancer genes in hematopoietic tumors and sarcomas has been documented. Here, we discuss the future of Sleeping Beauty for cancer genetic studies and the potential use of additional transposable elements for somatic mutagenesis.
已有文献记载使用睡美人转座子作为体细胞诱变剂来发现造血肿瘤和肉瘤中的癌症基因。在此,我们讨论睡美人在癌症遗传学研究中的未来以及其他转座元件在体细胞诱变中的潜在用途。
