Activating KRAS mutations, including G12C and G12D, are detected in approximately 25% of human cancers. The most common KRAS mutation is G12C, which comprises nearly 15% of lung adenocarcinomas, 8% of colorectal carcinomas and 4% of pancreatic adenocarcinomas. AMG-510 from Amgen and MRTX849 from Mirati Therapeutics, both targeting the KRASG12C mutant, have shown encouraging results …Read More >

Tumors are complex ecosystems composed of different cell types with different phenotypes, status and gene profiles. Commonly used GEP tools like bulk RNA Sequencing can only display gene expression profiles as a whole, and cannot reflect the heterogeneous tumor cell change or immune composition in a tumor. Single cell RNA sequencing is a good tool …Read More >
