1. Genome instability, gene expression and prognosis in breast cancer
Abstract : Aneuploid cancers are regarded as being more malignant than tumors of other ploidy categories, and they are characterized by increased genomic instability. Our investigations resulted in the characterization of an aneuploid subtype of breast carcinoma that proved to be genomically stable. READ MORE

2. Genome dynamics and virulence in the human pathogen Candida glabrata
Abstract : Although the yeast Candida glabrata is considered to be a part of the commensal microflora in healthy individuals, during the last years it has been frequently isolated from patients with mucosal and systemic fungal infections. Now it is considered as the second most frequently isolated pathogenic yeast after Candida albicans. Despite its name, C. READ MORE

3. Genotoxic effects of systemic chemotherapy in cancer patients, with special focus on the relation between MSI, LOH and development of secondary cancers
Abstract : Systemic chemotherapy results in both phenotypic and genotypic side effects. Genotoxicity posed by chemotherapy is a major concern since it induces DNA damage and instability in the patients’ genome. READ MORE

4. Ribonucleotides in DNA - Application in genome-wide DNA polymerase tracking and physiological role in eukaryotes
Abstract : The genetic code in the eukaryotic cell is stored in the form of DNA, which is more resistant to hydrolysis than RNA. Replication fidelity and DNA repair mechanisms are in place to ensure genomic integrity to preserve the information encoded. READ MORE
