Computational tools to detect signatures of mutational processes in DNA from tumours: A review and empirical comparison of performance.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Mutational signatures refer to patterns in the occurrence of somatic mutations that might be uniquely ascribed to particular mutational process. Tumour mutation catalogues can reveal mutational signatures but are often consistent with the mutation ...

A tug-of-war between driver and passenger mutations in cancer and other adaptive processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Cancer progression is an example of a rapid adaptive process where evolving new traits is essential for survival and requires a high mutation rate. Precancerous cells acquire a few key mutations that drive rapid population growth and carcinogenesis ...

Characteristics of mutational signatures of unknown etiology

open access: yesNAR Cancer, 2020
Abstract Although not all somatic mutations are cancer drivers, their mutational signatures, i.e. the patterns of genomic alterations at a genome-wide scale, provide insights into past exposure to mutagens, DNA damage and repair processes.

Plasma extrachromosomal circular DNA as a biomarker in EGFR‐targeted therapy of non‐small cell lung cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Detection of extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) in plasma samples from EGFR‐mutated non‐small cell lung cancer patients. Plasma was collected before and during treatment with the EGFR‐tyrosine kinase inhibitor osimertinib. Plasma eccDNA was detected in all cancer samples, and the presence of the EGFR gene on eccDNA serves as a potential biomarker ...

Mutational signature analysis in non-small cell lung cancer patients with a high tumor mutational burden

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2021
Background Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. With the growing number of targeted therapies and the introduction of immuno-oncology (IO), personalized medicine has become standard of care in patients with metastatic disease.

Chromosomal instability in untreated primary prostate cancer as an indicator of metastatic potential. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
BackgroundMetastatic prostate cancer (PC) is highly lethal. The ability to identify primary tumors capable of dissemination is an unmet need in the quest to understand lethal biology and improve patient outcomes.

APOBEC3 signature mutations in chronic lymphocytic leukemia [PDF]

open access: yesLeukemia, 2014
Cytidine deaminases of the APOBEC family (ApoB mRNA editing catalytic subunit) generate targeted damage in nucleic acids by deaminating cytosins to uracils. The catalytically active family members are APOBEC1, APOBEC3 proteins (which comprise APOBEC3A, APOBEC3B, APOBEC3C, APOBEC3D, APOBEC3F, APOBEC3G, APOBEC3H) and activation-induced deaminase (AID ...

Survivin and Aurora Kinase A control cell fate decisions during mitosis

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aurora A interacts with survivin during mitosis and regulates its centromeric role. Loss of Aurora A activity mislocalises survivin, the CPC and BubR1, leading to disruption of the spindle checkpoint and triggering premature mitotic exit, which we refer to as ‘mitotic slippage’.

Mutation Clusters from Cancer Exome

open access: yes, 2017
We apply our statistically deterministic machine learning/clustering algorithm *K-means (recently developed in https://ssrn.com/abstract=2908286) to 10,656 published exome samples for 32 cancer types.

Exploiting the neoantigen landscape for immunotherapy of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Immunotherapy approaches for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) have met with limited success. It has been postulated that a low mutation load may lead to a paucity of T cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME).
