Integrated RNA and DNA sequencing improves mutation detection in low purity tumors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a method, called UNCeqR, that detects somatic mutations by integrating patient-matched RNA-seq and DNA-WES, and demonstrated that the integrated DNA and RNA model outperformed the DNA- WES only model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell-State Transitions Regulated by SLUG Are Critical for Tissue Regeneration and Tumor Initiation

TL;DR: It is shown that in the absence of SLUG, mammary stem cell activity necessary for tissue regeneration and cancer initiation is lost and that SLUG plays a dual role in repressing luminal epithelial differentiation while unlocking stem cell transitions necessary for tumorigenesis.
