  1. 1. Computational exploration of cancer genomes

    Författare :Joakim Karlsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cancer genomics; Transcriptomics; Driver genes; Copy number changes; Immunogenomics; Cancer of unknown primary; Uveal melanoma;

    Sammanfattning : Cancer evolves due to changes in DNA that give a cell an advantage at the expense of the remaining organism. These alterations range from individual base substitutions to broad losses or duplications of chromosomal material. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Uncovering the genetics underlying host-parasite interactions during Plasmodium falciparum malaria transmission

    Författare :Mubasher Mohammed; Johan Ankarklev; David Serre; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Malaria; Plasmodium falciparum; Genomics; single-cell RNA-seq; Parasite cell fate; Anopheles gambiae; ApiAP2 transcription factors; driver genes; computational biology; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Sammanfattning : In eukaryotes, cellular differentiation is often orchestrated by programmed arrays of activation and repression of genes underlying the specific phenotypes of cell-types. To complete its life cycle, the single-celled Apicomplexan parasite Plasmodium falciparum, the most deadly of the human malaria parasites, must repeatedly differentiate and convert into unique cell types that can exploit niches within their human and mosquito hosts.

  4. 3. Comprehensive analysis of structural genomic alterations in cancer : Computational approaches for identifying cancer driver events

    Författare :Babak Alaei-Mahabadi; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Somatic structural variations; viral integrations; gene fusions; somatic genomic alterations;

    Sammanfattning : The transformation of a normal cell into a cancer cell involves the accumulation of somatic DNA alterations that confer growth and survival advantages. These genomic alterations can be different in terms of pattern and size, comprising single nucleotide variants (SNVs), small insertions or deletions (indels), structural variations (SVs) or foreign DNA insertions such as viral DNA.

  5. 4. Understanding Cancer Mutations by Genome Editing

    Författare :Muhammad Akhtar Ali; Tobias Associate Professor; Thierry Soussi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genome editing; rAAV; ZBED6; DIP2C; KRAS; BRAF; colorectal cancer; tumor driver genes; cancer pathways;

    Sammanfattning : Mutational analyses of cancer genomes have identified novel candidate cancer genes with hitherto unknown function in cancer. To enable phenotyping of mutations in such genes, we have developed a scalable technology for gene knock-in and knock-out in human somatic cells based on recombination-mediated construct generation and a computational tool to design gene targeting constructs.

  7. 5. Pan-cancer study of transcriptional responses to oncogenic somatic mutations

    Författare :Arghavan Ashouri; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cancer; Driver mutations; Genomics; Transcriptomics; lncRNAs; NRF2; ALK;

    Sammanfattning : Cancer cells typically carry acquired somatic mutations in key cancer driver genes, which can be identified on the basis of recurrence in cancer cohorts. Such mutations may cause aberrant protein activity and altered gene expression in the nucleus, driving the cell toward a cancerous phenotype. LÄS MER
