Detection of Somatic Mutation in Exon 12 of DNA Polymerase β in Ovarian Cancer Tissue Samples
Background: DNA polymerase β (pol β) is a key enzyme of base excision repair pathway. It is a 1-kb gene consisting of 14 exons. Its catalytic part lies between exon 8 and exon 14. Exon 12 has a role in deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate selection for nucleotide transferase activity. Methods: Genomic DNA was isolated from ovarian carcinoma samples. Single strand conformation polymorphism...
متن کاملCOSMOS: accurate detection of somatic structural variations through asymmetric comparison between tumor and normal samples
An important challenge in cancer genomics is precise detection of structural variations (SVs) by high-throughput short-read sequencing, which is hampered by the high false discovery rates of existing analysis tools. Here, we propose an accurate SV detection method named COSMOS, which compares the statistics of the mapped read pairs in tumor samples with isogenic normal control samples in a dist...
متن کاملTranscriptome profiling of prostate tumor and matched normal samples by RNA-Seq.
BACKGROUND RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) has greatly influenced cancer researches, and it provides an unprecedented resolution in estimating gene expression and has less signal noises compared to cDNA microarray. AIM We aimed to identify a list of protein-coding genes and lincRNAs that are expressed differentially between tumor and normal tissues. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, we analyzed...
متن کاملDiscriminating somatic and germline mutations in tumor DNA samples without matching normals.
Tumor analyses commonly employ a correction with a matched normal (MN), a sample from healthy tissue of the same individual, in order to distinguish germline mutations from somatic mutations. Since the majority of variants found in an individual are thought to be common within the population, we constructed a set of 931 samples from healthy, unrelated individuals, originating from two different...
متن کاملGenome-Wide Identification of Somatic Aberrations from Paired Normal-Tumor Samples
Genomic copy number alteration and allelic imbalance are distinct features of cancer cells, and recent advances in the genotyping technology have greatly boosted the research in the cancer genome. However, the complicated nature of tumor usually hampers the dissection of the SNP arrays. In this study, we describe a bioinformatic tool, named GIANT, for genome-wide identification of somatic aberr...
