Dr. Stephen Chanock, M.D., Chief of the Laboratory of Translational Genomics in the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, discusses insights from cancer genome-wide association studies. Explore the genomic approaches used in identifying and characterizing cancer susceptibility regions in the human genome, and future trends in this research. This seminar was presented at the Hefei 2011 GWAS workshop in Anhui, China. The workshop was supported by Nature Genetics and by Anhui Medical University.
Also read the accompanying commentary Milestone in Anhui in Nature Genetics.
