[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 1890, member: 1"] [URL='https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/02/big-step-toward-identifying-all-cancer-causing-genetic-mutations/'][B]Collaboration generates most complete cancer genome map - The Harvard Gazette[/B][/URL] [B] Pan-Cancer Project brings researchers closer to identifying all major cancer-causing genetic mutations[/B] An international team has completed the most comprehensive study of whole cancer genomes, significantly improving the fundamental understanding of cancer and indicating new directions for developing diagnostics and treatments. The discoveries, published today in 23 papers in Nature and its affiliated journals, are an important step toward a map of all major cancer-causing mutations in the genome. The ICGC/TCGA Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes Project (PCAWG, or the Pan-Cancer Project), a collaboration involving more than 1,300 scientists and clinicians from 37 countries, analyzed more than 2,600 whole genomes of 38 different tumor types — the largest publicly available whole-genome dataset in the cancer genomics field. Fifty-two members of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard contributed to this research throughout the six-year long project. [/QUOTE]
