This study shows that therapeutic agents induce chromatin remodeling via AP-1/SWI-SNF, enhancing BKPyV replication in urothelial cells, and suggests SWI/SNF inhibition as a potential treatment for hemorrhagic cystitis.

This study identifies low-variant allele frequency IDH1/2 mutations in sporadic angiosarcoma and shows they drive tumorigenesis through non-cell-autonomous mechanisms, responding to ivosidenib treatment.

The paper characterizes polyomaviruses in urinary DNA of HSCT recipients and healthy cynomolgus macaques, identifying three viruses with host tropism and higher shedding in recipients.

This study identifies molecular differences between HPV-associated and HPV-independent SNSCC, showing HPV drives tumorigenesis and suggesting YAP/TAZ and PI3K inhibition as therapeutic targets.

This study explores horizontal gene transfer among animal viruses by analyzing sequencing data, revealing chimeric structures and new viral groups.

The paper introduces a method to estimate genome containment in metagenomes and applies it to identify a novel polyomavirus.
