Journal ArticleDOI

Signatures of mutational processes in human cancer

Ludmil B. Alexandrov, +84 more
- 22 Aug 2013 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that hypermutation localized to small genomic regions, ‘kataegis’, is found in many cancer types, and this results reveal the diversity of mutational processes underlying the development of cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Landscape of somatic mutations in 560 breast cancer whole-genome sequences

Serena Nik-Zainal, +89 more
- 02 Jun 2016 - 
TL;DR: This analysis of all classes of somatic mutation across exons, introns and intergenic regions highlights the repertoire of cancer genes and mutational processes operative, and progresses towards a comprehensive account of the somatic genetic basis of breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene expression-based classification of non-small cell lung carcinomas and survival prediction.

TL;DR: The gene signatures identified are promising tools for histo-pathological classification of non-small cell lung cancer, and may improve the prediction of clinical outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selection of Bone Metastasis Seeds by Mesenchymal Signals in the Primary Tumor Stroma

TL;DR: The evidence suggests that stromal signals resembling those of a distant organ select for cancer cells that are primed for metastasis in that organ, thus illuminating the evolution of metastatic traits in a primary tumor and its distant metastases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extensive transduction of nonrepetitive DNA mediated by L1 retrotransposition in cancer genomes

Jose M. C. Tubio, +81 more
- 01 Aug 2014 - 
TL;DR: It is found that 3′ transduction activity in a patient’s tumor was always associated with hypomethylation of that element, and in some cases transduction events can scatter exons, genes, and regulatory elements widely across the genome.
