Deskripsi

Genomic structural variants (SVs) in cancer are notoriously difficult to identify, despite the impact they have on cancer progression and treatment efficacy. This study applies state-of-the-art computational methods to catalogue SVs in 383 cases of oesophageal cancer, uncovering mutational patterns and new disease drivers.
