chinese cancer data

Annotated somatic variants and interactive variant analysis results are available online atwww.ingenuity.com/acrg2012.

Eighty-eight primary HCC tumors and matched adjacent nontumor liver tissues were analyzed by whole-genome DNA sequencing to identify somatic mutations and HBV integration sites. The vast majority (92%,n = 81) of patients in this cohort were HBV carriers (i.e., HBsAg seropositive) suffering from chronic hepatitis B or cirrhosis. None of the patients were hepatitis C virus (HCV) positive

It’s Launch Time for the Million Veteran Program…

The VA Office of Research and Development is launching its
unprecedented partnership between VA and Veterans who volunteer to help build one of the largest databases of genetic, military exposure and health information. The Million Veteran Program (MVP) promises to reshape the field of genomics—a sophisticated science poised to revolutionize health care for Veterans and others throughout the U.S. and around the world.
