Espen Enerly from the Department of Genetics co-author an article recently published in "Molecular systems biology" (impact factor 9.95) - a new and well reputed "online only" journal launched by The European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) in partnership with Nature Publishing Group (NPG).
The paper - entitled "p53-repressed miRNAs are involved with E2F in a feed-forward loop promoting proliferation" - is a result of a successful collaboration between research groups in Israel, USA and Norway.

The Department of Genetics has contributed with miRNA expression profiling and analysis of tumors with/without TP53 mutations from 16 breast cancers patients. This analysis complemented in vitro experiments from other groups and gave additional support to the link between TP53 and miRNAs genes.
Co-authors in addition to Espen Enerly are Hilde Johnsen and Anne-Lise Børresen-Dale.
