Map the genetic codes for melanoma and lung cancer.

For the first time, it is easy and better diagnostic tests and more specific and effective treatment of melanoma and lung cancer.
British Scientists have been able to map the genetic codes for these two cancers.According to the scientists the DNA code for Melanoma had 33,345 mutations due to exposure to sun and for the lung cancer had 22,910 genetic mutations due to heavy cigarette smoking.Thay also said that one mutation occurred for 15 cigarettes smoking.
According to WHO, cancer is a major cause of death in world and takes more than 7 million lives per year.
