TLDR
A driver discovery method is developed and analyzed 120,788 cis-regulatory modules (CRMs) across 1,844 whole tumor genomes from the ICGC-TCGA PCAWG project, finding 30 CRMs with enriched SNVs and indels (FDR < 0.05).

Integrative analysis of 111 reference human epigenomes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the integrative analysis of 111 reference human epigenomes generated as part of the NIH Roadmap Epigenomics Consortium, profiled for histone modification patterns, DNA accessibility, DNA methylation and RNA expression.

Activation of proto-oncogenes by disruption of chromosome neighborhoods

TL;DR: Wala et al. as discussed by the authors investigated whether proto-oncogenes occur within these structures and whether oncogene activation can occur via disruption of insulated neighborhood boundaries in cancer cells.

YY1 Is a Structural Regulator of Enhancer-Promoter Loops

TL;DR: In this paper, the ubiquitously expressed transcription factor Yin Yang 1 (YY1) contributes to enhancer-promoter structural interactions in a manner analogous to DNA interactions mediated by CTCF.

An oncogenic super-enhancer formed through somatic mutation of a noncoding intergenic element

TL;DR: In a subset of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) cases, it is found that heterozygous somatic mutations are acquired that introduce binding motifs for the MYB transcription factor in a precise noncoding site, which creates a super-enhancer upstream of the TAL1 oncogene.

Signatures of mutational processes in human cancer

Ludmil B. Alexandrov, +84 more

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.

Cancer Genome Landscapes

TL;DR: This work has revealed the genomic landscapes of common forms of human cancer, which consists of a small number of “mountains” (genes altered in a high percentage of tumors) and a much larger number of "hills" (Genes altered infrequently).

A 3D Map of the Human Genome at Kilobase Resolution Reveals Principles of Chromatin Looping

TL;DR: In situ Hi-C is used to probe the 3D architecture of genomes, constructing haploid and diploid maps of nine cell types, identifying ∼10,000 loops that frequently link promoters and enhancers, correlate with gene activation, and show conservation across cell types and species.

Candidate Cancer Driver Mutations in Distal Regulatory Elements and Long-Range Chromatin Interaction Networks

The paper discusses the discovery of frequently mutated regulatory elements (FMREs) in the non-coding genome that are associated with cancer driver mutations. It also highlights the importance of long-range chromatin interactions and mRNA abundance associations in understanding tumorigenesis.
