This study shows that stem-like CD8+ T cells, when used in adoptive cell therapy followed by vaccination, improve tumor control by altering the tumor microenvironment's transcriptomic profile.

The paper introduces MAGIC, a platform combining imaging and genomics to study de novo chromosome rearrangements, finding that dicentric chromosomes initiate CA events and TP53 deficiency increases CA rates.

SAVANA improves detection of somatic structural variants and copy number aberrations in cancer using long-read sequencing with higher sensitivity and specificity than existing tools.

This study identifies chromothripsis and a novel LTA chromothripsis mechanism driving genome complexity and evolution in osteosarcoma, with prognostic implications for high-grade tumors.

This study uses whole-genome sequencing to show that LINE-1 retrotransposition directly causes chromosomal rearrangements and instability in cancer genomes.

The paper analyzes L1 retrotransposition in tumors using long-read sequencing, revealing synchronous L1 insertions drive chromosomal crossovers early in tumorigenesis.

The paper analyzes somatic retrotransposition events in 2,954 cancer genomes, identifying L1 insertions as significant contributors to structural variations and oncogenesis.
