Abstract

Jayne Hehir-Kwa is based at the Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology in the Netherlands and is an associate group leader within the Kemmeren group and the Big Data Core. Her work is focused on genomic and transcriptomic sequencing of pediatric cancer and the resulting analysis, storage, and management of this large volume of valuable patient data. In this issue of Cell Genomics, her team presents the research article "Complex structural variation is prevalent and highly pathogenic in pediatric solid tumors," which illustrates complex genomic rearrangements in five pediatric cancer types.
