Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive cancer often diagnosed only after it has metastasized to distant sites (Meuwissen and Berns 2005; Cooper and Spiro 2006). Despite the need to better understand this disease, SCLC remains poorly characterized at the molecular and genomic levels (Forgacs ...
Tissue-specific differentiation programs become dysregulated during cancer evolution. The transcription factor Nkx2-1 is a master regulator of pulmonary differentiation that is downregulated in poorly differentiated lung adenocarcinoma. Here we use conditional murine genetics to study the fate of l...
The overall purpose of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of producing haplotype-phased whole genome sequence data from a fetus using free fetal DNA isolated from maternal plasma collected during the first half of gestation.
Despite the high prevalence and poor outcome of patients with metastatic lung cancer, the mechanisms of tumour progression and metastasis remain largely uncharacterized. We modelled human lung adenocarcinoma, which frequently harbours activating point mutations in KRAS1 and inactivation of the p53-p...
This dataset includes whole genome sequence information for three individuals (Mother, Father and Newborn) used in this study. Genomes were sequenced using Illumina HiSeq technology. Files included are fastq files in paired read format.
BACKGROUND:
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) enables profiling of embryos for genetic disorders prior to implantation. The majority of PGD testing is restricted in the scope of variants assayed or by the availability of extended family members. While recent advances in single cell sequencing ...
We introduce high-throughput and massive paired-end mapping (PEM), a large-scale genome sequencing method to identify SVs 3 kb or larger that combines the rescue and capture of paired-ends of 3 kb fragments, massive 454 Sequencing, and a computational approach to map DNA reads onto a reference genom...
Allogenic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) is a well-established curative modality for adults with high-risk ALL; yet large data describing alloHCT outcomes in Philadelphia (Ph)-like ALL is lacking. We retrospectively analyzed archived DNA samples from consecutive adults with B-cell Ph-n...
