Evaluating deep variational autoencoders trained on pan-cancer gene expression
Cancer is a heterogeneous disease with diverse molecular etiologies and outcomes. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) has released a large compendium of over 10,000 tumors with RNA-seq gene expression measurements. Gene expression captures the diverse molecular profiles of tumors and can be interrogated to reveal differential pathway activations. Deep unsupervised models, including Variational Autoe...
متن کاملMolecular Characterization of Gallbladder Cancer using Somatic Mutation Profiling
Gallbladder cancer is relatively uncommon, with a high incidence in certain geographic locations, including Latin America, East and South Asia, and Eastern Europe. Molecular characterization of this disease has been limited, and targeted therapy options for advanced disease remain an open area of investigation. In the present study, surgical pathology obtained from resected gallbladder cancer c...
متن کاملSystematic characterization of pan‐cancer mutation clusters
Cancer genome sequencing has shown that driver genes can often be distinguished not only by the elevated mutation frequency but also by specific nucleotide positions that accumulate changes at a high rate. However, properties associated with a residue's potential to drive tumorigenesis when mutated have not yet been systematically investigated. Here, using a novel methodological approach, we id...
متن کاملDetection of Somatic Mutation in Exon 12 of DNA Polymerase β in Ovarian Cancer Tissue Samples
Background: DNA polymerase β (pol β) is a key enzyme of base excision repair pathway. It is a 1-kb gene consisting of 14 exons. Its catalytic part lies between exon 8 and exon 14. Exon 12 has a role in deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate selection for nucleotide transferase activity. Methods: Genomic DNA was isolated from ovarian carcinoma samples. Single strand conformation polymorphism...
متن کاملIntegrative epigenetic and genetic pan-cancer somatic alteration portraits
Genetic and epigenetic alterations are required for carcinogenesis and the mutation burden across tumor types has been investigated. Here, we investigate epigenetic alterations with a novel measure of global DNA methylation dysregulation, the methylation dysregulation index (MDI), across 14 cancer types in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. DNA methylation data-obtained using Illumina Hum...
