Dog Patients, Osteosarcoma, and Severus Structural Variant Analyses

Mikhail Kolmogorov from the National Cancer Institute, NIH, spoke at the Nanopore Community Meeting Houston about “Nanopore sequencing reveals structural heterogeneity in canine osteosarcoma.” Structural variants are any alterations greater than 50 bp. These events can affect one or multiple genes… or whole chromosomes! NCI has a comparative osteosarcoma (OS) program that recruits dogs nationwide. […]
