UALCAN: A Portal for Facilitating Tumor Subgroup Gene Expression and Survival Analyses.

TL;DR: UALCAN, an easy to use, interactive web-portal to perform to in-depth analyses of TCGA gene expression data, serves as a platform for in silico validation of target genes and for identifying tumor sub-group specific candidate biomarkers.

The Immune Landscape of Cancer

TL;DR: An extensive immunogenomic analysis of more than 10,000 tumors comprising 33 diverse cancer types by utilizing data compiled by TCGA identifies six immune subtypes that encompass multiple cancer types and are hypothesized to define immune response patterns impacting prognosis.

Genomic and transcriptomic features of response to anti-pd-1 therapy in metastatic melanoma

TL;DR: It is found that overall high mutational loads associate with improved survival, and tumors from responding patients are enriched for mutations in the DNA repair gene BRCA2, suggesting that attenuating the biological processes that underlie IPRES may improve anti-PD-1 response in melanoma and other cancer types.

Comprehensive genomic characterization defines human glioblastoma genes and core pathways

Roger E. McLendon, +233 more
- 23 Oct 2008 - 
TL;DR: The interim integrative analysis of DNA copy number, gene expression and DNA methylation aberrations in 206 glioblastomas reveals a link between MGMT promoter methylation and a hypermutator phenotype consequent to mismatch repair deficiency in treated gliobeasts, demonstrating that it can rapidly expand knowledge of the molecular basis of cancer.

Mutational heterogeneity in cancer and the search for new cancer-associated genes

Michael S. Lawrence, +96 more
- 11 Jul 2013 - 
TL;DR: A fundamental problem with cancer genome studies is described: as the sample size increases, the list of putatively significant genes produced by current analytical methods burgeons into the hundreds and the list includes many implausible genes, suggesting extensive false-positive findings that overshadow true driver events.
