The alterations associated with progression from Barrett’s esophagus (BE) to esophageal adenocarcinoma are not fully characterised. Here, the authors perform a multi-omics analysis of a longitudinally-sampled BE patient cohort, identifying the impact of structural variants, including mobile elements, and the timing of molecular events during progression.
