Next generation sequencing allows the identification of oncogenic driver genes in pancreatic cancer. Here, in an effort to identify additional causal genes, the authors develop a high throughput in vivoscreen and identify genes that whilst infrequently mutated in pancreatic cancer contribute to tumour formation.
