Sequencing of cancer genomes has become a pivotal method for uncovering and understanding the deregulated cellular processes driving tumor initiation and progression. Whole-genome sequencing is evolving toward becoming less costly and more feasible on a large scale; consequently, thousands of tumors are being analyzed with these technologies. Interpreting these data in the context of tumor complexity poses a challenge for cancer genomics.
