Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer is a major contributor to cancer morbidity and mortality. Tandem repeat instability and its effect on cancer phenotypes remain so far poorly studied on a genome-wide scale. RESULTS: Here we analyze the genomes of 35 colorectal tumors and their matched normal (healthy) tissues for two types of tandem repeat instability, de-novo repeat gain or loss and repeat copy number variation....
