    A community effort to create standards for evaluating tumor subclonal reconstruction

    Tumor DNA sequencing data can be interpreted by computational methods that analyze genomic heterogeneity to infer evolutionary dynamics. A growing number of studies have used these approaches to link cancer ev...

    Genome-wide germline correlates of the epigenetic landscape of prostate cancer

    Oncogenesis is driven by germline, environmental and stochastic factors. It is unknown how these interact to produce the molecular phenotypes of tumors. We therefore quantified the influence of germline polymo...

    Combining accurate tumor genome simulation with crowdsourcing to benchmark somatic structural variant detection

    The phenotypes of cancer cells are driven in part by somatic structural variants. Structural variants can initiate tumors, enhance their aggressiveness, and provide unique therapeutic opportunities. Whole-geno...

    Germline BRCA2 mutations drive prostate cancers with distinct evolutionary trajectories

    Germline mutations in the BRCA2 tumour suppressor are associated with both an increased lifetime risk of develo** prostate cancer (PCa) and increased risk of aggressive disease. To understand this aggression, h...

    Genomic hallmarks of localized, non-indolent prostate cancer

    Prostate tumours are highly variable in their response to therapies, but clinically available prognostic factors can explain only a fraction of this heterogeneity. Here we analysed 200 whole-genome sequences a...
