CanGEM: mining gene copy number changes in cancer (2008)

Scheinin, Ilari, Myllykangas, Samuel, Borze, Ioana, Böhling, Tom, Knuutila, Sakari, Saharinen, Juha

The use of genome-wide and high-throughput screening methods on large sample sizes is a well-grounded approach when studying a process as complex and heterogeneous as tumorigenesis. Gene copy number...
