It's a polar research issue of Nature, but there are still some 'omic papers scattered about. A publication from lead author Christopher Greenman at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute presents data from a large-scale cancer sequencing effort that turned up more than 1,000 unknown mutations linked to tumor formation. There's also a news and views article paired with the paper and written by Daniel Haber and Jeff Settleman from Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center. In another paper, lead author Chris Organ from Harvard and his team analyze genome size in dinosaurs. They demonstrate a new method for estimating genome size and use it to predict this measure in 31 species of dinosaurs.
