Grant Activity:
Decoding the Dark Matter of the High-Risk Paediatric Cancer Genome
Purpose:

High-risk paediatric cancers have dismal survival rates, and despite best efforts using advanced DNA sequencing, there are very few mutations to explain this aggressiveness. The Investigators reasoned that whole classes of under-explored mutations in the “noncoding genome” may explain the poor outcomes, and propose innovative ways to study these in the largest study of patients with these cancers to date.
