Centrosome amplification has long been recognized as a feature of human tumors, however its role in tumorigenesis remains unclear. Centrosome amplification is poorly tolerated by non-transformed cells, and, in the absence of selection, extra centrosomes are spontaneously lost. Thus, the high frequen...

Analysis of copy number variation in evolved haploid, diploid, tetraploid strains. All experimental samples were compared to the same reference strain S288C. The samples include the progenitor strains for the haploid, diploid, and tetraploid evolution experiments, and single colony isolates (clones...

Oncogenic transformation in Ewing sarcoma tumors is driven by the fusion oncogene EWS-FLI1. The inducible expression of EWS-FLI1 (EF) in embryoid bodies, or collections of differentiating stem cells, generates cells with properties of Ewing sarcoma tumors, including characteristics of transformation...

Children with Down syndrome (DS) have a 20-fold increased risk of developing B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Polysomy 21 (i.e., extra copies of chr.21) is also the most frequent somatic aneuploidy among all B-ALLs. Additional B-ALLs harbor intrachromosomal amplifications of chr.21q22 (i...

Down syndrome (DS) confers a 20-fold increased risk of B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), yet the mechanisms underlying this association are undefined.  We show that triplication of only 31 genes orthologous to the putative DS Critical Region (DSCR) on chr.21q22 is sufficient to promote B ce...
