Abstract excerpt
Cancers are commonly characterized as having an abnormal number of chromosomes, termed aneuploidy, which arise due to genomic instability. There is still debate over whether aneuploidy is a driving force of the disease or a resulting phenotype; however, the presence of aneuploidy can be used to grade the malignant potential of certain types of cancer. A simple hypothesis is that genome instability itself is...
