The Immune Landscape of Cancer

We performed an extensive immunogenomic analysis of more than 10,000 tumors comprising 33 diverse cancer types by utilizing data compiled by TCGA. Across cancer types, we identi...

Global surveillance of trends in cancer survival 2000–14 (CONCORD-3): analysis of individual records for 37 513 025 patients diagnosed with one of 18 cancers from 322 population-based registries in 71 countries

In 2015, the second cycle of the CONCORD programme established global surveillance of cancer survival as a metric of the effectiveness of health systems and to inform global pol...

Nivolumab plus Ipilimumab versus Sunitinib in Advanced Renal-Cell Carcinoma

Overall survival and objective response rates were significantly higher with nivolumab plus ipilimumab than with sunitinib among intermediate- and poor-risk patients with previo...

The epithelial–mesenchymal transition: new insights in signaling, development, and disease

The conversion of an epithelial cell to a mesenchymal cell is critical to metazoan embryogenesis and a defining structural feature of organ development. Current interest in this...

Novel Molecular Subtypes of Serous and Endometrioid Ovarian Cancer Linked to Clinical Outcome

Abstract Purpose: The study aim to identify novel molecular subtypes of ovarian cancer by gene expression profiling with linkage to clinical and pathologic features. Experimenta...

Assemblathon 1: A competitive assessment of de novo short read assembly methods

Low-cost short read sequencing technology has revolutionized genomics, though it is only just becoming practical for the high-quality de novo assembly of a novel large genome. W...

Assembling millions of short DNA sequences using SSAKE

Abstract Summary: Novel DNA sequencing technologies with the potential for up to three orders magnitude more sequence throughput than conventional Sanger sequencing are emerging...
