New computer program developed by TGen lights up cancer-causing genetic mutations

By conjuring the spell "Lumos!" wizards in the mythical world of Harry Potter could light up the tip of their magic wands and illuminate their surroundings. So, too, does LumosVar, a computer program developed by the Translational Genomics Research Institute, "light up" cancer-causing genetic Var-ients, or mutations, illuminating how physicians might best treat their patients.
