Identification of the relationships of Kaposi sarcoma (KS), normal skin to various cell cultures. The effects of KS herpes virus, the infectious cause of KS, on infected endothelial cells are also investigated.
ORGANISM(S): Homo sapiens 
Infinium® HumanMethylation450 BeadChip and EPIC arrays were run with the aim of using the methylation profiles (n=986 in total) for sarcoma subtype classification (Paper: Lyskjær et al, 2021, DNA methylation-based profiling of bone and soft tissue tumours: a validation study of the ‘DKFZ sarcoma Cla...

Aberrant DNA methylation (DNAm) was first linked to cancer over 25 years ago. Since then, many studies have associated hypermethylation of tumour suppressor genes and hypomethylation of oncogenes to the tumourigenic process. However, most of these studies have been limited to the analysis of promote...

Massive genomic rearrangement acquired in a single catastrophic event during cancer development
Cancer is driven by mutation. Using Agilent exome hybridisation capture and Illumina GA massively parallel sequencing technology, we aim to sequence ~1600 microRNAs plus the protein coding genome of 25 matched human renal cancer samples. Bespoke algorithms are being developed to identify the somatic...
Recent sequencing studies have extensively explored the somatic alterations present in the nuclear genomes of cancers. Although mitochondria control energy metabolism and apoptosis, the origins and impact of cancer-associated mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are unclear. Here, we analysed soma...
Frequent somatic transfer of mitochondrial DNA into the nuclear genome of human cancer cells
Frequent somatic transfer of mitochondrial DNA into the nuclear genome of human cancer cells
Frequent somatic transfer of mitochondrial DNA into the nuclear genome of human cancer cells
Mitochondrial genomes are separated from the nuclear genome for most of the cell cycle by the nuclear double membrane, intervening cytoplasm and the mitochondrial double membrane. Despite these physical barriers we show that somatically acquired mitochondrial-nuclear genome fusion sequences are pres...
