Estrogen Receptor alpha (ER) is the key driver in the majority of all breast cancers, and considered the main target for therapy. However, resistance to treatment is common and biomarkers to facilitate optimal treatment selection are urgently needed. Even though the vast majority of breast cancer patients are female, breast cancer can develop in men as well. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by massive-parallel sequencing (ChIP-seq), we identified the genome-wide ch...
