Abstract excerpt
Focal amplifications of oncogenes are important cancer drivers. They can occur on chromosomes or in the context of circular extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA). Many key features of ecDNAs were described in the 1960s to 1980s, including their "unstable" nature and their ability to confer drug resistance.
