A predictive model for canine dilated cardiomyopathy-a meta-analysis of Doberman Pinscher data.

abstract：Background:Extensive genome rearrangements, known as chromothripsis, have been recently identified in several cancer types. Chromothripsis leads to complex structural variants (cSVs) causing aberrant gene expression and the formation of de novo fusion genes, which can trigger cancer development, or worsen its clinical ...
