Defining a Multi-Omics Target Discovery Framework for High-Risk Cancers

While next-generation sequencing (NGS) has driven recent advances in precision oncology research, it often falls short when identifying the molecular mechanisms underlying many malignancies. As a result, alternative NGS-based approaches are needed to identify oncogenic drivers and potential drug targets.
