Researchers identify origin of chromosomal oddity in some cancer cells

27 mayo 2015

Surveys of the genomic terrain of cancer have turned up a curious phenomenon in some tumor cells: a massive rearrangement of DNA in one or a few chromosomes, thought to be produced during a single cell cycle. In a new study, scientists demonstrate how this sudden, isolated shuffling of genetic material — known as chromothripsis — can occur.
