Journal ArticleDOI

Subgroup-specific structural variation across 1,000 medulloblastoma genomes

Paul A. Northcott, +139 more
- 02 Aug 2012 - 
TL;DR: Somatic copy number aberrations (SCNAs) in 1,087 unique medulloblastomas are reported, including recurrent events targeting TGF-β signalling in Group 3, and NF-κB signalling in Groups 4, which suggest future avenues for rational, targeted therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intertumoral Heterogeneity within Medulloblastoma Subgroups

Florence M.G. Cavalli, +101 more
- 12 Jun 2017 - 
TL;DR: Similarity network fusion (SNF) applied to genome-wide DNA methylation and gene expression data across 763 primary samples identifies very homogeneous clusters of patients, supporting the presence of medulloblastoma subtypes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The whole-genome landscape of medulloblastoma subtypes

Paul A. Northcott, +95 more
- 19 Jul 2017 - 
TL;DR: The application of integrative genomics to an extensive cohort of clinical samples derived from a single childhood cancer entity revealed a series of cancer genes and biologically relevant subtype diversity that represent attractive therapeutic targets for the treatment of patients with medulloblastoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Next-generation tag sequencing for cancer gene expression profiling

TL;DR: Overall, Tag-seq is sensitive to rare transcripts, has less sequence composition bias relative to LongSAGE, and allows differential expression analysis for a greater range of transcripts, including transcripts encoding important regulatory molecules.
