    BreakTrans: uncovering the genomic architecture of gene fusions

    Producing gene fusions through genomic structural rearrangements is a major mechanism for tumor evolution. Therefore, accurately detecting gene fusions and the originating rearrangements is of great importance...

    Whole-genome analysis informs breast cancer response to aromatase inhibition

    To correlate the variable clinical features of oestrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer with somatic alterations, we studied pretreatment tumour biopsies accrued from patients in two studies of neoadjuvant ar...

    Clonal evolution in relapsed acute myeloid leukaemia revealed by whole-genome sequencing

    The sequencing of AML genomes of eight patients before and after relapse reveals two major patterns of clonal evolution, with chemotherapy appearing to have a role in both patterns.

    Generation and annotation of the DNA sequences of human chromosomes 2 and 4

    Human chromosome 2 is unique to the human lineage in being the product of a head-to-head fusion of two intermediate-sized ancestral chromosomes. Chromosome 4 has received attention primarily related to the sea...

    Evidence for a nucleotide-dependent topoisomerase activity from yeast mitochondria

    Yeast mitochondria were found to contain a novel topoisomerase-like activity which required nucleoside di- or tri-phosphates as a cofactor. ADP supported activity as effectively as ATP and the optimal concentr...
