Nearly all #colorectal #cancers arise from a #precancerous #polyp. One of the best ways to reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer is to stop the growth at the polyp stage. There’s more than one way for a polyp to develop. The two main types of polyps are tubular adenomas and sessile serrated polyps.

One of the best uses of #DNA 🧬 #barcoding is linking different life stages of single #species that appear different from each other and do different things.

In this paper the authors used barcoding to figure out which #polyp (sedentary) and #medusa (swimming) life stages of several #hydrozoans (related to #sea #jellies and sea #anemones) belong to each other.
