Abstract
Although fresh frozen tissue is the optimal source of nucleic acids for sequencing, obtaining such tissue on a population scale is cost and time prohibitive; however, DNA and RNA extraction from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue has been problematic, yielding low quantity and quality DNA and RNA. Through a pilot program, the National Cancer Institute is developing a Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER)-linked Virtual...
