New survey of DNA alterations could aid search for cancer genes

Scanning the DNA of nearly 5,000 tumor samples, a team led of scientists has identified 140 regions of scrambled genetic code believed to contain many undiscovered cancer genes. Mapping of the abnormal regions gives cancer scientists a starting point from which to search for as-yet undiscovered oncogenes and broken tumor-suppressor genes.
