Comprehensive kinome NGS targeted expression profiling by KING-REX
Abstract Background Protein kinases are enzymes controlling different cellular functions. Genetic alterations often result in kinase dysregulation, making kinases a very attractive class of druggable targets in several human diseases. Existing approved drugs still target a very limited portion of th...
