CANCER GENETICS

Epigenetic cancer evolution, one cell at a time

Nature Reviews Genetics volume 20, pages 434–435 (2019)Cite this article

Subjects

Although most studies investigating tumorigenesis focus on genetic mutations, epigenetic reprogramming is emerging as a major driver of oncogenic transformation. Two recent studies trace epigenetic marks in cells from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) to characterize the evolution of the epigenome in cancer.
