Human cancer cell lines are the mainstay of cancer research. Recent reports showed that highly mutated adult carcinoma cell lines (mainly HeLa and MCF-7) present striking diversity across laboratories and that long-term continuous culturing results in genomic/transcriptomic heterogeneity with strong phenotypical implications. Here, we hypothesize that oligomutated pediatric sarcoma cell lines mainly driven by a fusion transcription factor, such as Ewing sarcoma (EwS), are genetically and phenotypically more stable than the previously investigated adult carcinoma cell lines.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a heterogeneous group of diseases comprising several molecular subtypes. Comprehensive DNA sequencing is now standard practice to identify these subtype. Until recently, KRAS mutation status in metastatic CRC was primarily used as a biomarker to predict resistance to EGFR inhibition.

BRAF mutations in colorectal cancer (CRC) comprise three functional classes: Class 1 (V600E) with strong constitutive activation, Class 2 with pathogenic kinase activity lower than Class 1, and Class 3 which paradoxically lacks kinase activity. Non-Class 1 mutations associate with better prognosis, microsatellite stability, distal tumour location and better anti-EGFR response. Analysis of 13 CRC cohorts (n=6,605 tumours) compared Class 1 (n=709, 10.

Background: This study was to elucidate the impact of blast-induced neurotrauma (BINT) on phosphoproteome networks and cognition in a genetically heterogeneous population of mice (rTg4510) with the human tau P301L mutation linked to Alzheimer's disease-related dementia (ADRD) including frontotemporal dementia.
Method: Mild traumatic brain injury was induced in rTg4510 mice exposed to a single low-density blast (LIB) at an upright position. After assessment of cognitive function by the automated-Home Cage Monitoring (aHCM) system, frontal cortex tissue was collected at 40 days post-injury.

Background: Haplotypes are patterns of nucleotides in close proximity along a chromosome that are passed together across time and space. These patterns dictate the specific properties of proteins produced and the regulation of this production. General haplotype inference methods phase all provided genotypes within the region of interest into two haplotypes without regard for the ages or evolutionary impact of each mutation, thus force the inclusion of more recent and/or neutral mutations.
