Abstract
Widespread structural alterations of cancer genomes are increasingly observed in a broad spectrum of tumors. In a recent issue of Cell, Baca and colleagues describe large chains of rearrangements that coordinately affect multiple chromosomes in prostate cancer. This phenomenon of chromoplexy may define cancer subtypes and drive punctuated tumor evolution.Entities:
