Abstract:
Genetic lesions are crucial for cancer initiation. Recently, whole genome sequencing, using next generation technology, was used as a systematic approach to identify mutations in genomes of various types of tumors including melanoma, lung and breast cancer, as well as acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Here, we identify tumor-specific somatic mutations by sequencing transcriptionally active genes. Mutations were detected by comparing the transcriptome sequence of an AML sample with the corresponding...     »
