Synergy and competition between cancer genome sequencing and epigenome mapping projects

Christoph Bock. Genome Med. 2014.

Abstract

Large-scale projects in the fields of cancer genomics and epigenomics have different aims, cultures and outcomes. The author argues that by working together a complete picture of cancer biology could be painted, and he advocates the creation of an International Cancer Epigenome Consortium.
