The largest ever study to analyze entire tumor genomes has provided the most complete picture yet of how DNA glitches drive tumor cell growth. Researchers say the results, released today in six papers in Nature and 17 in other journals, could pave the way for full genome sequencing of all patients’ tumors. Such sequences could then be used in efforts to match each patient to a molecular treatment.

Here is the lead article in Nature (it has links to all 6 individual articles about the research):

Great post... As we unravel how DNA glitches drive tumor growth, then we shall see the use of CRISPR editing to do some of the following IMHO:

1) Transformation of mutations by infusion of missing pieces provided through CRISPR editing

2) CRISPR editing of additions by infusing CRISPR editing material in exosomes

The Science is Coming.... and it gives us....HOPE !!!!
