Identification of cancer genes by mutational profiling of tumor genomes.

Abstract excerpt

It is now widely accepted that cancer is a genetic disease and that alterations in the DNA sequence underlie the development of every neoplasm. The identification of mutated genes that are causally implicated in oncogenesis ('cancer genes') has been a major goal in medical sciences for the last two decades. The availability of the human genome sequence coupled to the introduction of high throughput sequencing...
