Omics! Omics! on aneuploidy and "chromothripsis"

[Randy]

Keith Robison blogs about a paper from Cell that describes "chromothripsis", and offers a few points to ponder regarding the development of aneuploidy in cancer.

I love the fact that science bloggers can offer a knowledgeable distillate of papers that I wouldn't have access to, or be able to readily understand. As Dr. Robison says, "This paper has certainly altered my perspective of the chromosomal chaos seen in cancer." And now his blog has altered mine.
