A Comprehensive Assessment of Somatic Mutation Calling in Cancer Genomes
The emergence of next generation DNA sequencing technology is enabling high-resolution cancer genome analysis. Large-scale projects like the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) are systematically scanning cancer genomes to identify recurrent somatic mutations. Second generation DNA sequencing, however, is still an evolving technology and procedures, both experimental and analytical, a...
متن کاملAutosomal mutation in somatic cells of the mouse.
Tumor suppressor genes are located on autosomal chromosomes. Therefore, an understanding of how cancer-related mutations occur in somatic cells requires a detailed understanding of spontaneous and induced autosomal mutagenesis. This review will present recent advances in the study of how autosomal mutations form in somatic cells by focusing on the mouse Aprt and Tk model systems that have been ...
متن کاملMutation patterns in cancer genomes.
Recent large-scale cancer sequencing studies have focused primarily on identifying cancer-associated genes, but as an important byproduct provide "passenger mutation" data that can potentially illuminate the mutational mechanisms at work in cancer cells. Here, we explore patterns of nucleotide substitution in several cancer types using published data. We first show that selection (negative or p...
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 کاملMitochondrial DNA Somatic Mutation in Cancer
Cancer cells are known to drastically alter cellular energy metabolism. The Warburg effect has been known for over 80 years as pertaining cancer-specific aerobic glycolysis. As underlying molecular mechanisms are elucidated so that cancer cells alter the cellular energy metabolism for their advantage, the significance of the modulation of metabolic profiles is gaining attention. Now, metabolic ...
