Whole-genome sequencing of phenotypically distinct inflammatory breast cancers reveals similar genomic alterations to non-inflammatory breast cancers

Genome Medicine, 2021
Background Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) has a highly invasive and metastatic phenotype. However, little is known about its genetic drivers. To address this, we report the largest cohort of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of IBC cases.

Structural variant calling: the long and the short of it [PDF]

Genome Biology, 2019
AbstractRecent research into structural variants (SVs) has established their importance to medicine and molecular biology, elucidating their role in various diseases, regulation of gene expression, ethnic diversity, and large-scale chromosome evolution—giving rise to the differences within populations and among species. Nevertheless, characterizing SVs

Association Between Dinutuximab Beta Exposure and Post‐End‐of‐Treatment Survival in Neuroblastoma: A Weighted Patient‐Level Analysis of Three Clinical Studies

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives The association between exposure to dinutuximab beta (DB) and event‐free survival (EFS) or overall survival (OS) of neuroblastoma patients was assessed using data collected during three clinical trials (five cohorts). Methods A systematic review (March 2026) was conducted to identify relevant studies (prospective; registered DB ...

Histone variants--the structure behind the function [PDF]

Briefings in Functional Genomics and Proteomics, 2006
In recent years, the chromatin field has witnessed a renewed interest in histone variants as pertaining to their structural role, but mainly because of the functional specificity they impart to chromatin. In this review, I am going to discuss several of the most recent structural studies on core histone (H2A.Bbd, H2A.Z, H2A.X, macroH2A, H3.3, CENP-A ...

Structural Characterization of the Histone Variant macroH2A [PDF]

Molecular and Cellular Biology, 2005
macroH2A is an H2A variant with a highly unusual structural organization. It has a C-terminal domain connected to the N-terminal histone domain by a linker. Crystallographic and biochemical studies show that changes in the L1 loop in the histone fold region of macroH2A impact the structure and potentially the function of nucleosomes.

BMT4me En Español: Multisite Feasibility and Usability Testing of a Spanish‐Language mHealth Adherence Support App for Spanish‐Speaking Caregivers of Children After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation and Cancer Treatment

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Medication nonadherence during the first 100 days after pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and during oncology treatment increases risk for complications. BMT4me is a caregiver‐facing mobile health (mHealth) application providing medication reminders, symptom tracking, and note‐taking features to support ...

Combining accurate tumor genome simulation with crowdsourcing to benchmark somatic structural variant detection

Genome Biology, 2018
Background The phenotypes of cancer cells are driven in part by somatic structural variants. Structural variants can initiate tumors, enhance their aggressiveness, and provide unique therapeutic opportunities.

Prioritisation of structural variant calls in cancer genomes [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Sensitivity of short read DNA-sequencing for gene fusion detection is improving, but is hampered by the significant amount of noise composed of uninteresting or false positive hits in the data.

Truvari: refined structural variant comparison preserves allelic diversity

Genome Biology, 2022
The fundamental challenge of multi-sample structural variant (SV) analysis such as merging and benchmarking is identifying when two SVs are the same.

Structural Characterization of Histone H2A Variants [PDF]

Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology, 2004
protein to form chromatin, the fundamental unit of which is the nucleosome core particle (NCP). An NCP consists of two copies each of the four core histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. This histone octamer binds 147 base pairs of DNA around its outer surface in 1.65 tight superhelical turns (Fig. 1A) (Luger et al. 1997; Richmond and Davey 2003).
