The impact of somatic structural variants (SVs) on gene expression in cancer is largely unknown. Here, as part of the ICGC/TCGA Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG) Consortium, which aggregated whole-genome sequencing data and RNA sequencing from a common set of 1220 cancer cases, we report ...
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...

Background

In 2021, we showed an increased risk associated with COVID-19 in pregnancy. Since then, the SARS-CoV-2 virus has undergone genetic mutations. We aimed to examine the effects on maternal and perinatal outcomes of COVID-19 during pregnancy, and evaluate vaccine effectiveness, when o...
Cancer evolves dynamically, as clonal expansions supersede or overlap one another, driven by shifting selective pressures, mutational processes and disrupted cancer genes. These processes mark the genome, such that a cancerÕs life history is encrypted in the timing, ploidy, clonality and patterns of...

Objective

The corpus callosum (CC) is an interhemispheric structure that facilitates communication between the two cerebral hemispheres. Anomalies of the CC are frequent and associated with a wide spectrum of altered neurodevelopmental outcomes. However, variability in diagnostic criteria an...
All cancers carry somatic mutations. The patterns of mutation in cancer genomes reflect the DNA damage and repair processes to which cancer cells and their precursors have been exposed. To explore these mechanisms further, we generated catalogs of somatic mutation from 21 breast cancers and applied ...

Purpose

To describe an international response to the COVID-19 pandemic by estimating the prevalence of medication use for COVID-19 treatment in pregnancy, stratified by hospitalization, trimester of pregnancy, and country.

Methods

We conducted a two-stage individual participant data m...
