Neochromosomes are a little-studied class of chromosome-scale mutations that drive some cancers. By sequencing isolated neochromosomes from liposarcomas, we recently defined their structure at single-nucleotide resolution and proposed a model for their life history. Here, we summarize that work, highlighting significant aspects and providing historical context and insight into the discovery process.
新染色体是一类研究较少的染色体规模突变,可引发某些癌症。通过对脂肪肉瘤中分离出的新染色体进行测序,我们最近在单核苷酸分辨率下确定了它们的结构,并提出了一个关于其生命史的模型。在这里,我们总结这项工作,突出重要方面,并提供历史背景以及对发现过程的见解。
