TL;DR: A fundamental problem with cancer genome studies is described: as the sample size increases, the list of putatively significant genes produced by current analytical methods burgeons into the hundreds and the list includes many implausible genes, suggesting extensive false-positive findings that overshadow true driver events.
Mutational heterogeneity in cancer and the search for new cancer genes
Elena Helman,Eric S. Lander +1 more
TL;DR: The MutSigCV method as mentioned in this paper applies mutational heterogeneity to exome sequences from 3,083 tumour-normal pairs and discovers extraordinary variation in mutation frequency and spectrum within cancer types, which sheds light on mutational processes and disease aetiology.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A computational method that infers tumor purity and malignant cell ploidy directly from analysis of somatic DNA alterations is described, revealing that genome-doubling events are common in human cancer, likely occur in cells that are already aneuploid, and influence pathways of tumor progression.

TL;DR: Encouraging uptake of TMB as a predictive biomarker in the clinic creates an urgent need to bring stakeholders together to agree on the harmonization of key aspects of panel-based TMB estimation, such as the standardization of T MB reporting, standardized of analytical validation studies and the alignment ofPanel TMB values with a reference standard.
