Cancer Genomics
Cancer genomics is the study of the genetic mutations that cause cancer through genome sequencing as well as bioinformatics. The goal of clinical genomics is to determine which sets of genes and gene interactions affect the different subsets of cancer in order to improve cancer treatment and outcomes. The International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) is just a non-profit scientific organisation that facilitates collaboration between the world's top cancer and genomic researchers.
