Cover Genome Research presents a Cancer Genomics special issue that highlights insights gained from cutting-edge genomic and epigenomic analyses of cancer. The cover is an artist's rendering of the transformation from normal genome to cancer genome, depicting the cell cycle in the format of a Zen spiritual exercise in which the enso (“circle”) is drawn daily. The first enso is representative of normal growth and division, progressing as carcinogenesis “redraws” the genome until it is another creature entirely. (Illustration © Victor O.
