What is Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG)?
The Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG) project is an ambitious initiative aimed at understanding the genetic alterations across a wide variety of cancers. This project involves sequencing and analyzing the entire genomes of thousands of cancer samples from different types of cancers, providing a comprehensive view of the mutations, structural variations, and other genomic features that drive cancer development.
