Abstract:
The rapid development of cancer genomics is due to important progresses in oncogenesis, human genome sequencing and emergence of new technologies in genome and transcriptome analysis. In this context, the aim of the French program 'Cartes d'Identites des Tumeurs--Molecular Portraits of Tumors' is to build a public data base containing a pan genome assessment of genome and transcriptome alterations in the major types of tumors as well as in relevant normal cells and experimental models. Data mining is done in the context of genome annotations and clinical and biological informations attached to the enrolled samples. The goal of the program is to define new tests useful for diagnostic procedures in clinical laboratories and new targets for biological treatments of tumors.

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
