A Biomarker Harvest from One Thousand Cancer Cell Lines

Cell. 2016 Jul 28;166(3):536-537. doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2016.07.010.

Abstract

Identifying molecular biomarkers that predict cancer drug efficacy is crucial for the advancement of precision medicine. In this issue of Cell, Iorio et al. nominate hundreds of potential genetic and epigenetic biomarkers through high-throughput drug screening in ∼1,000 molecularly annotated cancer cell lines.
