Osteosarcomas are a heterogenous group of tumours and little is known about how these tumours evolve. Here, Kovac et al. use exome sequencing and discover that although no driver gene explains the majority of these tumours, they are characterized by specific mutation signatures and genomic instability typical of BRCA1/2-deficient tumours.
