Going beyond genetics to discover cancer targets

Genome Biol. 2017 May 22;18(1):95. doi: 10.1186/s13059-017-1238-7.

Abstract

Two recent studies demonstrate the power of integrating tumor genotype information with epigenetic and proteomic studies to discover potential therapeutic targets in breast cancer.
