| Thomas et al. have published a paper in Nature Medicine (available for free from the Roche Applied Science site) in which the Genome Sequencer 20 is used to sequence DNA from tumours to find novel genetic changes. This is a powerful tool for cancer medicine. Prior to this, discovery of novel genetic changes in a cancer would have required a lot of work looking at specific genes. This "shotgun" approach is not only sensitive but also semi-quantitative. I highly recommend reading of this paper. | ||
