Sensitive detection of somatic point mutations in impure and heterogeneous cancer samples

TL;DR: The MuTect algorithm for calling somatic point mutations enables subclonal analysis of the whole-genome or whole-exome sequencing data being generated in large-scale cancer genomics projects as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome duplication in the teleost fish Tetraodon nigroviridis reveals the early vertebrate proto-karyotype

TL;DR: Genome analysis provides a greatly improved fish gene catalogue, including identifying key genes previously thought to be absent in fish, and reconstructs much of the evolutionary history of ancient and recent chromosome rearrangements leading to the modern human karyotype.

Diagnostic Testing for Acute Head Injury in Children: When Are Head Computed Tomography and Skull Radiographs Indicated?

TL;DR: Intracranial injury may occur with few or subtle signs and symptoms, especially in infants younger than 1 year, and the relative risk for intracrania injury is increased almost fourfold in the presence of a skull fracture, although the absence of a skulls fracture does not rule out intrac Cranial injury.
