Unlocking cancer's ancestry

Finding where your family came from is as simple as a home DNA test. Determining ancestry from tumors alone is trickier, but could hold the key to cancer's origins. Now, researchers have software that accurately infers continental ancestry from tumor genomes. Their work may lead to a better understanding of the links between cancer and ethnicity, as well as future strategies for early detection and personalized treatment.
