cancer genomics, genetics & genomics

A decade into the age of genomics, science is generating a flood of data that will help in the quest to eradicate the disease.

The majority of human melanomas contain mutations in a gene promoter, suggesting mutations in regulatory regions may spur some cancers.

Researchers put the predictive power of whole genome sequencing to the test.

One biopsy may not provide enough information about the array of mutations in cancer to devise treatments based on a tumor’s genetic profile.
