A powerful way to discover key genes with causal roles in oncogenesis is to identify
genomic regions that undergo frequent alteration in human cancers. Here we present high-…

The tumor microenvironment of colorectal carcinoma is a complex community of genomically

Lineage-survival oncogenes are activated by somatic DNA alterations in cancers arising
from the cell lineages in which these genes play a role in normal development 1 , 2 . Here we …

Most tumors exhibit increased glucose metabolism to lactate, however, the extent to which
glucose-derived metabolic fluxes are used for alternative processes is poorly understood 1 , 2 …

Clinical studies support the efficacy of programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) targeted therapy in a
subset of patients with metastatic gastric cancer (mGC). With the goal of identifying …
