Journal ArticleDOI

Biopython: freely available Python tools for computational molecular biology and bioinformatics

TL;DR: Biopython includes modules for reading and writing different sequence file formats and multiple sequence alignments, dealing with 3D macro molecular structures, interacting with common tools such as BLAST, ClustalW and EMBOSS, accessing key online databases, as well as providing numerical methods for statistical learning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oncogenic pathway signatures in human cancers as a guide to targeted therapies.

TL;DR: It is shown that gene expression signatures can be identified that reflect the activation status of several oncogenic pathways and linked with sensitivity to therapeutics that target components of the pathway provides an opportunity to make use of these oncogens pathway signatures to guide the use of targeted therapeutics.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-dimensional sparse factor modeling: Applications in gene expression genomics

TL;DR: These case studies aim to investigate and characterize heterogeneity of structure related to specific oncogenic pathways, as well as links between aggregate patterns in gene expression profiles and clinical biomarkers.
Journal ArticleDOI

High tumor mutation burden fails to predict immune checkpoint blockade response across all cancer types.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared approaches to determine TMB and identify the correlation between predicted neoantigen load and CD8 T cells, and found that TMB-H tumors exhibited a 39.8% ORR to ICB [95% confidence interval (CI) 34.9-44.8], which was significantly higher than that observed in low TMB (TMB-L) tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Integrating genotype and phenotype information: an overview of the PharmGKB project

TL;DR: This work has shown that individuals with a genetic variation for the enzyme thiopurine methyltransferase do not need lower doses of 6-mercaptopurine for effective treatment as normal doses can be lethal.
