Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) permits comprehensive cancer genome analyses, revealing mutational signatures, imprints of DNA damage and repair processes that have arisen in each patient's cancer. We performed signature analyses on 12,222 WGS tumor-normal matched pairs, from patients recruited via the UK National Health Service. contrasted our results to two independent datasets, International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) Hartwig Foundation, involving 18,640 cancers total. Our add 40...
Background: Whole genome sequencing (WGS) provides comprehensive, individualised cancer genomic information per patient. However, for clinical histopathological diagnostics, tumour biopsies are routinely formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE). This causes considerable DNA damage, historically precluding FFPE samples from WGS which is preferentially conducted on fresh frozen (FF) samples. Yet, substantial logistical demands associated with snap freezing makes it non-viable in...
