Pediatric researchers are finding that crucial differences in how the same gene is mutated may call for different treatments. They are investigating the biology of brain tumors in children. A new study offers glimpses into how scientists will be using the ongoing flood of gene-sequencing data to customize treatments based on very specific mutations in a child's tumor.
