Abstract excerpt
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and copy number variants (CNVs) are found at different rates in human cancer. To determine if these genetic lesions appear in Drosophila tumors we have sequenced the genomes of 17 malignant neoplasms caused by mutations in l(3)mbt, brat, aurA, or lgl We have found CNVs and SNPs in all the tumors. Tumor-linked CNVs range between 11 and 80 per sample, affecting between 92 and...
