Genome breakthrough allows scientists to identify and profile tumour cells from very small samples

Researchers from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in the USA have developed a powerful new technique for analysing the genome of single tumour cells. The breakthrough allows them to study in fine detail the biology of how tumours develop and has the potential to help doctors identify dangerous tumour cells from small samples such as fine-needle biopsies from the prostate or a non-invasive lesion in the breast...
