Cancer Genomics

Cancer start when normal cells start under go to some mutational changes and grow uncontrollably, result into a mass of cells called a tumor. Genes are made up of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which comprises all of the chemical information that expresses cells what to do and when to do it. The biggest project started to understand the cancer genome is “the cancer genome atlas”. Project started in 2006 by the National Cancer Institute and the National Human Genome Research Institute. They create a “map” of various cancer genomes to better understand a normal cell compared to cancer cell and what makes one cancer different from another.
