CRISPR-Barcoding for Intratumor Genetic Heterogeneity Modeling and Functional Analysis of Oncogenic Driver Mutations.

TLDR
This work devised a strategy to recapitulate and trace the emergence of subpopulations of cancer cells containing a mutation of interest using CRISPR/Cas9 technology and specific DNA barcodes, and used highly complex barcodes inserted at a specific genome location as a means of simultaneously tracing the fates of many thousands of genetically labeled cancer cells.

A view on drug resistance in cancer

TL;DR: A reductionist approach is taken to define and separate the key determinants of drug resistance, which include tumour burden and growth kinetics; tumour heterogeneity; physical barriers; the immune system and the microenvironment; undruggable cancer drivers; and the many consequences of applying therapeutic pressures.

Whole-organism clone tracing using single-cell sequencing

TL;DR: ScarTrace is presented, a single-cell sequencing strategy that enables the simultaneous quantification of clonal history and cell type for thousands of cells obtained from different organs of the adult zebrafish and predicts that similar approaches will have major applications in other experimental systems, in which the matching of embryonic clonal origin to adult cell type will ultimately allow reconstruction of how the adult body is built from a single cell.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue-specific tumorigenesis: context matters.

TL;DR: Investigation, recognition and in-depth biological understanding of the molecular, cellular, systemic and environmental determinants of organ-specific tumorigenesis and the mechanisms of context-specific oncogenic signalling outputs are focused on.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overview on Clinical Relevance of Intra-Tumor Heterogeneity.

TL;DR: This review tries to describe all the types of intra-tumor heterogeneity including morphohistological ITH, and at the molecular level clonal ITH derived from genomic instability and nonclonal IH derived from microenvironment interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

CRISPR in cancer biology and therapy

TL;DR: A review of the progress made in the development of CRISPR systems as a tool to study cancer, and the emerging adaptation of these technologies to improve diagnosis and treatment can be found in this article .

A new mathematical model for relative quantification in real-time RT-PCR.

TL;DR: This study enters into the particular topics of the relative quantification in real-time RT-PCR of a target gene transcript in comparison to a reference gene transcript and presents a new mathematical model that needs no calibration curve.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome engineering using the CRISPR-Cas9 system

TL;DR: A set of tools for Cas9-mediated genome editing via nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) or homology-directed repair (HDR) in mammalian cells, as well as generation of modified cell lines for downstream functional studies are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

The clonal evolution of tumor cell populations

TL;DR: Each patient's cancer may require individual specific therapy, and even this may be thwarted by emergence of a genetically variant subline resistant to the treatment, which should be directed toward understanding and controlling the evolutionary process in tumors before it reaches the late stage usually seen in clinical cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

The DNA-damage response in human biology and disease

TL;DR: The authors' improving understanding of DNA-damage responses is providing new avenues for disease management, and these responses are biologically significant because they prevent diverse human diseases.
