TLDR
It is proposed that chromothripsis in human cancer may arise through TREX1-mediated fragmentation of dicentric chromosomes formed in telomere crisis through the generation of the ssDNA and the resolution of the chromatin bridges.

Putting p53 in Context

TL;DR: TP53 is the most frequently mutated gene in human cancer and must be interpreted to understand how cell type, mutation profile, and epigenetic cell state dictate outcomes, and how might it restore its tumor-suppressive activities in cancer.

cGAS surveillance of micronuclei links genome instability to innate immunity

TL;DR: It is reported that cGAS localizes to micronuclei arising from genome instability in a mouse model of monogenic autoinflammation, after exogenous DNA damage and spontaneously in human cancer cells, and it is established that interferon-stimulated gene expression is induced inmicronucleated cells, concluding that micronsuclei represent an important source of immunostimulatory DNA.

ESCRT III repairs nuclear envelope ruptures during cell migration to limit DNA damage and cell death

TL;DR: Nuclear envelope opening in migrating leukocytes could have potentially important consequences for normal and pathological immune responses and survival of cells migrating through confining environments depended on efficient nuclear envelope and DNA repair machineries.

Roles for retrotransposon insertions in human disease

TL;DR: An overview of LINE-1 biology is provided followed by highlights from new reports of Line-1-mediated genetic disease in humans, which provide a wealth of insight and the foundation for valuable tools to study these genomic parasites.

The Sequence Alignment/Map format and SAMtools

TL;DR: SAMtools as discussed by the authors implements various utilities for post-processing alignments in the SAM format, such as indexing, variant caller and alignment viewer, and thus provides universal tools for processing read alignments.

Fast and accurate short read alignment with Burrows–Wheeler transform

TL;DR: Burrows-Wheeler Alignment tool (BWA) is implemented, a new read alignment package that is based on backward search with Burrows–Wheeler Transform (BWT), to efficiently align short sequencing reads against a large reference sequence such as the human genome, allowing mismatches and gaps.

Partitioning of lipid-modified monomeric GFPs into membrane microdomains of live cells.

TL;DR: Fluorescence resonance energy transfer measurements in living cells revealed that acyl but not prenyl modifications promote clustering in lipid rafts, and the nature of the lipid anchor on a protein is sufficient to determine submicroscopic localization within the plasma membrane.

TL;DR: Genomic instability co-segregated with inactivation of DNA maintenance genes (BRCA1, BRCA2 or PALB2) and a mutational signature of DNA damage repair deficiency, and 4 of 5 individuals with these measures of defective DNA maintenance responded to platinum therapy.
