Frequent somatic transfer of mitochondrial DNA into the nuclear genome of human cancer cells

Young Seok Ju, +56 more
- 01 Jun 2015 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that somatically acquired mitochondrial-nuclear genome fusion sequences are present in cancer cells, and the features of the fusion fragments indicate that nonhomologous end joining and/or replication-dependent DNA double-strand break repair are the dominant mechanisms involved.
Journal ArticleDOI

A somatic-mutational process recurrently duplicates germline susceptibility loci and tissue-specific super-enhancers in breast cancers

TL;DR: A somatic-rearrangement mutational process affecting coding sequences and noncoding regulatory elements and contributing a continuum of driver consequences, from modest to strong effects, thereby supporting a polygenic model of cancer development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Embryonal precursors of Wilms tumor.

TL;DR: Phylogenetic analyses of bilateral tumors indicated that clonal expansions can evolve before the divergence of left and right kidney primordia, and reveal embryonal precursors from which unilateral and multifocal cancers develop.
