San Antonio enlists WuXi NextCODE to speed unparalleled open-access Cancer Genome Project

(WuXi NextCODE) The San Antonio 1000 Cancer Genome Project is collecting tumor and normal patient samples in the 10 most common cancers from across a single metropolitan area.The same WuXi NextCODE informatics driving big precision medicine efforts in the US, UK, Qatar and China will then catalog the key differences between tumor and normal sequence. START is anonymously linking that data with treatment and outcomes data, creating a unique resource for directly applying genomics research to benefit patient care.
