We explore diverse sequence, structural, and chemical alterations contributing to sarcomagenesis by concurrently sequencing the genome, exome, transcriptome, and cytosine methylome of two patients with primary and recurrent liposarcoma and their matched normal adipose tissues. Integrative analyses revealed a modest point mutation rate accompanied by a burden of complex structural rearrangements...
