Telomere fusions are linked to oncogenesis in multiple cancer types, but their patterns are poorly understood. Here, the authors use whole-genome sequencing data to compare fusion events across cancer types, and identify a novel type of telomere fusion pattern associated with the Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres (ALT) pathway that can be used for liquid biopsy analysis.
