Evidence that both genetic instability and selection contribute to the accumulation of chromosome alterations in cancer (2005)

Gorringe, Kylie L., Chin, Suet-Feung, Pharoah, Paul, Staines, Joanne M., Oliveira, Carla, Edwards, Paul A. W., ...

Cancer cells contain many genetic alterations, and genetic instability may be important in tumourigenesis. We evaluated 58 breast and ovarian cancer cell lines for microsatellite instability (MSI)...
