Melanoma germline genetics: immune, cancer driver, and Wnt signaling genes

This paper identifies 116 risk loci for melanoma through GWAS, links susceptibility to immunity and Wnt signaling, and develops a PRS improving risk prediction.

Examining the Role of Extrachromosomal DNA in Lung Cancer

This study examines ecDNA in lung cancer, finding it in 18.9% of patients and associating it with worse survival and genomic instability.

Genomic Characterization of Lung Cancer in Never-Smokers Using Deep Learning

This paper develops a deep learning model to predict molecular alterations in never-smoker lung adenocarcinomas from histological images, achieving high accuracy for most features.

Revealing the Drivers Underlying Distinct Evolutionary Trajectories in Lung Adenocarcinoma

This study identifies three distinct evolutionary trajectories in lung adenocarcinomas using whole-genome sequencing, revealing that some never-smoking tumors follow smoking-like paths driven by KRAS mutations.

A prognostic signature for lung adenocarcinoma in people who have never smoked

The paper identifies three subtypes of NS-LUAD using RNA-seq data and develops a 60-gene signature that predicts survival across subgroups.

Deciphering lung adenocarcinoma evolution and the role of LINE-1 retrotransposition

This study analyzes 1024 lung adenocarcinomas to identify evolutionary patterns and mutational mechanisms, revealing distinct trajectories linked to smoking, ancestry, and retrotransposition.

APOBEC shapes tumor evolution and age at onset of lung cancer in smokers

The paper identifies two lung cancer subtypes defined by APOBEC mutagenesis levels and shows their association with different genetic mutations, aging, and immune responses.

Correcting reference bias from the Illumina Isaac aligner enables analysis of cancer genomes

The paper identifies a bias in VAF estimates from the Illumina Isaac aligner and introduces FixVAF to correct it, improving cancer cell fraction analysis.
