  1. 1. 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.

  3. 2. 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

  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. Inter and intra-tumor models of somatic evolution in cancer

    Författare :Mohammadreza Mohaghegh Neyshabouri; Jens Lagergren; Ben Raphael; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cancer progression models; MCMC; Tillämpad matematik och beräkningsmatematik; Applied and Computational Mathematics;

    Sammanfattning : Cancer is a disease caused by the accumulation of somatic mutations in an evolutionary process. Mutations in so-called cancer driver genes provide the harboring cells with particular selective advantages and result in cancer progression. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Genetic Characterization of Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors

    Författare :Anna Dahlen; Avdelningen för klinisk genetik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; cytogenetik; Genetik; cytogenetics; mesenchymal tumor; pericytoma; Genetics; chondroma; lipoma;

    Sammanfattning : Bone and soft tissue tumors (BSTT) constitute a heterogeneous group of neoplasms of mesenchymal and neuroectodermal origin. Although many BSTT are rare, it has become clear that BSTT are characterized by recurrent acquired chromosomal aberrations, and the general aim of this thesis have been to apply molecular genetic and molecular cytogenetic techniques to further characterize recurrent breakpoints and deletions, and to search for candidate target genes.
