Cancerous cells can have a rapidly changing genome, with the heterochromatin “glue” between genes playing an important role in this, including altering how much

Cancerous cells can have a rapidly changing genome, with the heterochromatin “glue” between genes playing an important role in this, including altering how much those genes get expressed. This work has sequenced the “glue” so we know what’s supposed to be there and can better understand what’s different about cancerous cells beyond the usual gene mutations.
