Comprehensive Molecular Characterization Identifies Distinct Genomic and Immune Hallmarks of Renal Medullary Carcinoma
- Description
Summary from BioProject: "Renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) is a highly lethal malignancy that mainly afflicts young individuals of African descent and is resistant to all targeted agents used to treat other renal cell carcinomas. Comprehensive genomic and transcriptomic profiling of untreated primary RMC tissues was performed to elucidate the molecular landscape of these tumors. We found that RMC was...

AICDA-induced epigenetic plasticity accelerates germinal center-derived lymphomagenesis
- Authors
- Teater, MattElemento, OlivierMelnick, Ari M.
- Description
Summary from the GEO: "Epigenetic heterogeneity is emerging as a significant phenotypic feature of tumors. In diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs), increased cytosine methylation heterogeneity is associated with poor clinical outcome, yet the biological mechanisms driving epigenetic heterogeneity remain unclear. Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AICDA), an enzyme that deaminates and facilitates...

- Description
Summary from the GEO: "Annotation of small RNAs from 11 Drosophila species for the purpose of non-coding RNA annotation and comparative genomics assessment." Overall design from the GEO: "Small RNA samples from 11 Drosophila species." Abstract Summary: "To assess miRNA evolution across the Drosophila genus, we analyzed several billion small RNA reads across 12 fruit fly species. These data permit...

DNA Methylation Dynamics of Germinal Center B Cells Are Mediated by AID
- Authors
- Teater, MattElemento, Olivier
- Description
Summary from the GEO: "Changes in DNA methylation are required for the formation of germinal centers (GC), but the mechanisms of such changes are poorly understood. Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) has been recently implicated recently in DNA demethylation through its deaminase activity coupled with DNA repair. We investigated the epigenetic function of AID in vivo in germinal center B...
