Population genetic tools: application to cancer.

Abstract excerpt

The availability of a reference human genome sequence, an increasingly dense catalog, knowledge of common genetic variation, and new developments in technology present an unprecedented opportunity to systematically explore the genetic basis of complex human diseases such as cancer. An understanding of the common mutations that can cause distinct human cancers will be critical for identifying new targets for drug...
