Mashup Score: 1Mutational signature dynamics shaping the evolution of oesophageal adenocarcinoma - Nature Communications - 9 month(s) ago
It is critical to understand what drives the progression of oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC) from a pre-cancerous state. Here, the authors use whole-genome sequencing to characterise the mutational processes and drivers of OAC progression from Barrett’s Oesophagus, as well as their prognostic associations.

Mashup Score: 6Clonal diversification and histogenesis of malignant germ cell tumours - Nature Communications - 2 year(s) ago
The molecular characterisation of germ cell tumours (GCT) is necessary to understand their development and histological diversification. Here, the authors use whole-genome and transcriptome sequencing of GCTs across distinct histologies to reveal their somatic evolution and clonal diversification, as well as identify several putative biomarkers for treatment stratification.

Mashup Score: 20Mutational signatures are markers of drug sensitivity of cancer cells - Nature Communications - 2 year(s) ago
Mutational signatures can reveal the impact of mutagenic processes in cancer, including exposure to therapy. Here, the authors develop an approach that can accurately predict drug responses in cancer using mutational signatures while simultaneously correcting for germline variants with an ancestry matching procedure.

Mashup Score: 14CloneSig can jointly infer intra-tumor heterogeneity and mutational signature activity in bulk tumor sequencing data - Nature Communications - 3 year(s) ago
Intratumour heterogeneity (ITH) and mutational signatures are typically analysed separately, even though they are not necessarily independent. Here, the authors present CloneSig, a tool for the joint estimation of ITH and mutational signatures, with which they analyse the TCGA and PCAWG datasets.

Mashup Score: 3Learning mutational signatures and their multidimensional genomic properties with TensorSignatures - 3 year(s) ago
Currently available tools for the analysis of mutational signatures do not make use of all possible genomic properties aside from mutation patterns. Here the authors present TensorSignatures, an efficient framework that jointly infers mutational signatures and their genomic determinants.

Mashup Score: 4
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center used machine learning techniques to detect mutational signatures in cancer patients. Their algorithm outperformed the current standard of analysis and revealed new mutational signatures associated with obesity, which is believed by cancer prevention experts to be becoming the most significant lifestyle factor contributing to cancer in the U.S….

Mashup Score: 2The ways in which carcinogens work - 4 year(s) ago
Riva et al. exposed mice to a range of 20 known or suspected human carcinogens and then profiled the mutational signatures that arose in the tumours induced by them, finding that surprisingly the majority of the chemicals were not directly mutagenic.
