BSR: What first got you interested in looking at the possibility that aneuploidy might cause cancer? 什么原因促使你注意到非整倍体可能是癌症的原因?
The aneuploidy and massive genomic instability inside tumor cells were dismissed as side effects of cancer, not prerequisites. 肿瘤细胞的非整倍体以及基因组的大幅不稳定也就被驳斥为癌症的副作用,而非先决条件。
aneuploidy
[ noun ] an abnormality involving a chromosome number that is not an exact multiple of the haploid number (one chromosome set is incomplete) <noun.state>
