The Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology, created in 1997 by Jean-Loup Huret (with bioinformatics by Philippe Dessen) is a collection of resources on genes, chromosomes anomalies, leukemias, solid tumours, and cancer-prone diseases.
The project is accessible through Internet and is made of encyclopedic-style files, as well as traditional overviews, links towards websites and databases devoted to cancer and/or genetics, case reports in haematology.
Dan van Dyke said "This is one stop shopping that unifies cancer genetics information", and Lidia Larizza said that the Atlas was an "interdisciplinary resource".
has grown into a truly monumental encyclopedic work of great importance"; Janet Rowley said: "In the future I will undoubtedly rely on your Website rather than trying to keep up with the literature myself"[4] The Atlas is part of the genome project and participates in research on cancer epidemiology.
In 2018, Jesús María Hernández Rivas (Salamanca, Spain) and Paola Dal Cin (Boston, Massachusetts) joined Jean-Loup Huret as Co-Editors in Chief, and in April 2021 Alessandro Beghini (Milano, Italy) and João Agostinho Machado-Neto (São Paulo, Brazil) replace Jean-Loup Huret.
