EXaCT-2 is a whole exome sequencing platform that detects various cancer-related genomic features with high accuracy and sensitivity, outperforming standard assays in detecting sub-clonal mutations and molecular metrics.

This paper introduces ppmSeq, a sequencing technology that improves accuracy and efficiency in detecting SNVs by sequencing both DNA strands, showing superior performance in clinical applications like ctDNA detection.

The paper identifies genomic alterations in the YAP/TAZ pathway associated with stem cell-like castration-resistant prostate cancer using transcriptomic and whole-genome sequencing data.

This study develops a pan-cancer PDO platform to preserve tumor heterogeneity and identify therapeutic vulnerabilities, finding that 58% of PDOs respond to Talazoparib and combination screens reveal resistance-overcoming drugs.

The paper uses CRISPR-Cas9 screens in breast cancer organoids from African ancestry patients to identify essential kinases and show synergy between EGFR and FGFR1 inhibitors.

The paper analyzes whole-genome sequencing data from a pan-cancer cohort to define HRD, showing it extends beyond BRCA1/2 mutations and highlights the benefits of WGS over commercial assays for HRD detection.

This paper introduces a weakly-supervised method to predict tumor purity from H&E stained slides, achieving high accuracy and enabling clinical applications.
