Cancerous Tumor Sequenced

An acute myeloid leukemia tumor was completely sequenced. This came up to be 3 billion DNA bases that were coded in hope to find a better understanding of cancer in which a cure might be developed.
“Since cancer is a disease of the genome, this newfound ability to determine the complete DNA sequence of a cancer cell is enormously powerful,” comments Francis Collins.
This could be the beginning of a breakthrough in medicine. Science and technology has given us the opportunity to find very useful information, it is now our job to try to make something from what has been given to us.
