FEBS Youth Travel Grants Application Deadline: 10 October 2010 Genomic instability is a characteristic of practically all human cancers. This often involves gross chromosomal abnormalities such as deletion and duplication of chromosomes or chromosome parts, chromosomal rearrangements and mitotic recombinations, generally termed as “chromosomal instability''. Other types of genomic instability are characterized by an increased rate of small-scale genetic changes (such as microsatellite instability). The role of genomic instability (GI) for cancer progression is a very important, yet unresolved question.
