Understanding the cancer genome is seen as a key step in improving outcomes for cancer patients. Genomic assays are emerging as a possible avenue to personalised medicine in breast cancer. However, evolution of the cancer genome during the natural history of breast cancer is largely unknown, as is the profile of disease at death. We sought to study in detail these aspects of advanced breast cancers that have resulted in lethal disease.

Cancer Research UK is the world''s leading charity dedicated to beating cancer through research. We''ve saved millions of lives with our groundbreaking work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer. People''s chances of surviving cancer have doubled in the last 40 years, and we''ve been at the heart of that progress. But more than one in three of us will still get cancer at some point. Our vital work, funded entirely by the public, will help ensure that millions more people survive. Our aim is to save lives from cancer. More people are beating cancer than ever before thanks to our work and your support. We work in the areas where we can make the most impact: * Research we support the work of over 4,000 scientists, doctors and nurses across the UK to investigate all aspects of cancer. * Information we work to prevent cancer and help people cope with its effects by providing information for cancer patients and their families, health professionals and the general public. * Influencing public policy we campaign to keep cancer at the top of the health agenda. Cancer Research UK is a registered charity in England and Wales (1089464) and in Scotland (SC041666). Registered as a company limited by guarantee in England & Wales No. 4325234.
View all literature mentionsR software package to study, predict and simulate the diffusion of a signal through a temporal gene network. It predicts changes in gene expressions after a biological perturbation in the network and provides graphical outputs that allow monitoring the spread of a signal through the network.
View all literature mentionsAn efficient software tool to utilize update-to-date information to functionally annotate genetic variants detected from diverse genomes (including human genome hg18, hg19, as well as mouse, worm, fly, yeast and many others). Given a list of variants with chromosome, start position, end position, reference nucleotide and observed nucleotides, ANNOVAR can perform: 1. gene-based annotation. 2. region-based annotation. 3. filter-based annotation. 4. other functionalities.
