Researchers have created a huge resource for investigating the biological mechanisms that cause cancer. The scientists from the Wellcome Sanger Institute and their collaborators identified which patterns of DNA damage – mutational fingerprints that represent the origins of cancer – were present in over a thousand human cancer cell lines. They also revealed that a […]
