The Canine Cancer Genome Atlas (CCGA) harmonizes whole-exome data from 667 canine tumor–normal pairs across 10 histotypes, enabling identification of 39 cancer drivers.
- Why it matters: Comparative oncology needs standardized, cross-species genomic resources to interpret canine tumor biology and connect it to human cancer mechanisms and therapeutic contexts.
- What they did: The CCGA aggregates curated SNVs, indels, structural variants, and copy number aberrations, using consensus pipelines for alignment, variant calling, and annotation, then performs selection analyses.
- The result: Direct comparisons with matched human cancers show conserved and species-enriched oncogenic mechanisms and pathways, supporting precision veterinary oncology and translational research.
