Cancer genome sequencing is the resequencing of genomes of several human cancers.
It is an effort in the War on Cancer to improve cancer diagnosis, treatment, and prevention through a better understanding of the molecular basis of this disease.
There are two main projects: the Cancer Genome Project, based at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, and the Cancer Genome Atlas project within the United States.
The Cancer Genome Project is based at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. It aims to identify sequence variants/mutations critical in the development of human cancers.
