Elevated RNA Editing Activity Is a Major Contributor to Transcriptomic Diversity in Tumors.

TLDR
It is shown that A-to-I editing and the enzymes mediating this modification are significantly altered, usually elevated, in most cancer types, and increased editing activity is found to be associated with patient survival.

A-to-I editing of coding and non-coding RNAs by ADARs

TL;DR: Adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADARs) convert adenosine to inosine in double-stranded RNA, leading to reduced expression or altered function of mature miRNAs and certain microRNA precursors.

Gene regulation in the immune system by long noncoding RNAs.

TL;DR: This Review focuses on mechanisms used by lncRNAs to regulate genes encoding products involved in the immune response, including direct interactions with chromatin, RNA and proteins, and addresses new areas of lncRNA biology.

A-to-I RNA editing — immune protector and transcriptome diversifier

TL;DR: Next-generation sequencing technologies have enabled the comparison of editomes from multiple individuals and from multiple species and the results have changed the understanding of the extent and distribution of A-to-I editing and its role in evolution and disease.

STAR: ultrafast universal RNA-seq aligner

TL;DR: The Spliced Transcripts Alignment to a Reference (STAR) software based on a previously undescribed RNA-seq alignment algorithm that uses sequential maximum mappable seed search in uncompressed suffix arrays followed by seed clustering and stitching procedure outperforms other aligners by a factor of >50 in mapping speed.

featureCounts: an efficient general-purpose program for assigning sequence reads to genomic features

TL;DR: FeatureCounts as discussed by the authors is a read summarization program suitable for counting reads generated from either RNA or genomic DNA sequencing experiments, which implements highly efficient chromosome hashing and feature blocking techniques.

Comprehensive molecular portraits of human breast tumours

Daniel C. Koboldt, +355 more
- 04 Oct 2012 - 
TL;DR: The ability to integrate information across platforms provided key insights into previously defined gene expression subtypes and demonstrated the existence of four main breast cancer classes when combining data from five platforms, each of which shows significant molecular heterogeneity.

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.
