    Human papillomavirus integration transforms chromatin to drive oncogenesis

    Human papillomavirus (HPV) drives almost all cervical cancers and up to 70% of head and neck cancers. Frequent integration into the host genome occurs predominantly in tumorigenic types of HPV. We hypothesize ...

    Single-cell profiling of healthy human kidney reveals features of sex-based transcriptional programs and tissue-specific immunity

    Knowledge of the transcriptional programs underpinning the functions of human kidney cell populations at homeostasis is limited. We present a single-cell perspective of healthy human kidney from 19 living dono...

    Virtual ChIP-seq: predicting transcription factor binding by learning from the transcriptome

    Existing methods for computational prediction of transcription factor (TF) binding sites evaluate genomic regions with similarity to known TF sequence preferences. Most TF binding sites, however, do not resemb...

    Variation in genomic landscape of clear cell renal cell carcinoma across Europe

    The incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is increasing worldwide, and its prevalence is particularly high in some parts of Central Europe. Here we undertake whole-genome and transcriptome sequencing of clea...
