Exome sequencing identifies somatic mutations of DDX3X in natural killer/T-cell lymphoma

TLDR
This work identified somatic gene mutations in 25 people with NKTCL by whole-exome sequencing and confirmed them in an extended validation group of 80 people by targeted sequencing, contributing to the understanding of the disease mechanism ofNKTCL.
Abstract
Zhu Chen, Sai-Juan Chen, Wei-Li Zhao and colleagues identify recurrent loss-of-function mutations in the RNA helicase gene DDX3X in 20% of subjects with natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL) in their study. The results suggest that DDX3X acts as a tumor suppressor and that its inactivation leads to poor clinical outcome.

The Global Landscape of EBV-Associated Tumors.

TL;DR: The main characteristics of these tumors, their distinct epidemiologies, histological features and degrees of EBV association are described, then how their different patterns ofEBV latency may reflect the alternative latency programmes through which the virus first colonizes and then persists in immunocompetent host is considered.

Sexual dimorphism in cancer.

TL;DR: This Opinion article focuses on the complex interplay that sex hormones and sex chromosomes can have in intrinsic control of cancer-initiating cell populations, the tumour microenvironment and systemic determinants of cancer development, such as the immune system and metabolism.

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.

A method and server for predicting damaging missense mutations.

TL;DR: A new method and the corresponding software tool, PolyPhen-2, which is different from the early tool polyPhen1 in the set of predictive features, alignment pipeline, and the method of classification is presented and performance, as presented by its receiver operating characteristic curves, was consistently superior.

Exploration, normalization, and summaries of high density oligonucleotide array probe level data

TL;DR: There is no obvious downside to using RMA and attaching a standard error (SE) to this quantity using a linear model which removes probe-specific affinities, and the exploratory data analyses of the probe level data motivate a new summary measure that is a robust multi-array average (RMA) of background-adjusted, normalized, and log-transformed PM values.
