Comprehensive analysis of mutational signatures in pediatric cancers

V. Thatikonda, S. M. A. Islam, B. C. Jones…·N. Jaeger

This study analyzes mutational signatures in pediatric cancers, finding fewer active signatures compared to adult cancers and linking specific signatures to TP53 mutations and chromothripsis.

The Repertoire of Mutational Signatures in Human Cancer

L. Alexandrov, J. Kim, N. J. Haradhvala…·M. R. Stratton

The paper characterizes 49 mutational signatures in human cancer using a large dataset of somatic mutations, revealing associations with exposures and DNA repair mechanisms and identifying signatures of unknown origin.

Making plants into cost-effective bioreactors for highly active antimicrobial peptides

M. R. Ghidey, S. M. A. Islam, G. Pruett, C. M. Kearney

This study identifies a method to express antimicrobial peptides in plants using elastin-like polypeptide fusions, achieving high yields and antimicrobial activity without requiring peptide cleavage.
