Project description:Analysis of differentially expressed genes in wild type SK-ES1 Ewing Sarcoma cells when compared to SK-ES1 Ewing Sarcoma cells that received six 4 Gy fractions (cumulative dose of 24 Gy) of ionizing radiation (radiation-adapted cell line). The hypothesis tested being that repeated ionizing radiation exposure of modifies radiation therapy response in Ewing Sarcoma.
Project description:Ewings Sarcoma (ES) belongs to the group of bone cancers defined by the existence of a certain EWS-ETS fusion gene. In this study we use the model cell line CADO-ES1 (EWSR1-ERG fusion gene) to characterize the genomic structure in respect to CNV and fusion gene events.
