Professor Indraneel Mittra | Horizontally Transferred Cell-Free Chromatin Particles: A New Frontier in Mammalian Genomics
About this episode
Professor Indraneel Mittra and his research team at the Advanced Centre for Treatment, Research & Education in Cancer, Mumbai, has discovered a surprising role for cell-free chromatin particles, cfChPs, in mammalian cells. Their findings position cfChPs as agents of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and drivers of evolutionary change.
