A major international collaboration featuring Israeli researchers has concluded the "most comprehensive" study and mapping of cancer genomes to date, boosting global understanding of cancer and its causes.
The "unprecedented" Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes Project (PCAWG) study involved more than 1,300 scientists and clinicians from 37 countries, analyzing more than 2,600 genomes - or genetic material - of 38 different tumor types to create a huge resource of primary cancer genomes.
