    Single-cell mtDNA dynamics in tumors is driven by coregulation of nuclear and mitochondrial genomes

    The extent of cell-to-cell variation in tumor mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number and genotype, and the phenotypic and evolutionary consequences of such variation, are poorly characterized. Here we use ampli...

    AKT mutant allele-specific activation dictates pharmacologic sensitivities

    AKT- a key molecular regulator of PI-3K signaling pathway, is somatically mutated in diverse solid cancer types, and aberrant AKT activation promotes altered cancer cell growth, survival, and metabolism18. The m...

    Respiratory complex and tissue lineage drive recurrent mutations in tumour mtDNA

    Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encodes protein subunits and translational machinery required for oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Using repurposed whole-exome sequencing data, in the present study we demonstrate...

    Phase and context shape the function of composite oncogenic mutations

    Cancers develop as a result of driver mutations1,2 that lead to clonal outgrowth and the evolution of disease3,4. The discovery and functional characterization of individual driver mutations are central aims of c...
