Sex biases in cancer and autoimmune disease incidence are strongly positively correlated with mitochondrial gene expression across human tissues

scRNA-seq analysis of colon and esophageal tumors uncovers abundant microbial reads in myeloid cells undergoing proinflammatory transcriptional alterations

The paper develops a computational pipeline to identify microbial reads in scRNA-seq data and finds that microbial reads are enriched in myeloid cells with proinflammatory transcriptional changes.

Higher prevalence of homologous recombination-deficiency in lung squamous carcinoma from African Americans

The paper compares genomic features between African American and European American lung cancers, finding higher genomic instability and homologous recombination-deficiency in African American tumors.
