A robust library preparation and variant calling strategy (DigiPico/MutLX) eliminates false positive single nucleotide variants from picogram quantities of DNA following whole genome amplification.

Mutations that allow tumors to evolve and become resistant to treatment can be readily identified with a new sequencing approach.

Copy number alteration heterogeneity exists in many shapes and forms in breast cancer genomes and single-cell genomics is a powerful tool to further our understanding of its nature and significance.

A major consequence of ductal-to-squamous lineage transition in pancreatic cancer cells is to augment inflammation, which may explain the exceptionally poor clinical outcomes of squamous-subtype tumors.

Diverse components of the tumor microenvironment affect T cell metabolism in ways that are crucial to improving immunotherapy.

The forces that multicellular tumor aggregates exert on their environment lead to non-linear, scale-invariant tissue deformations far away from the tumor, which can be exploited to quantify its collective contractility.

A novel mechanoelectrical transduction pathway can regulate the interactions of melanoma cells and their surrounding microenvironment, impacting both migration and cell dissociation from organotypic spheroids.

Editors' Summary: This Replication Study has reproduced some parts of the original paper but it also contains results that are not consistent with other parts of the original paper.

The partial success of a study to reproduce experiments that linked pseudogenes and cancer proves that understanding RNA networks is more complicated than expected.

An unrecognized regulation on MAGEA protein stability promotes pancreatic cancer progression via manipulating autophagy and may impact the clinical utility of MAGEA-targeted immunotherapy.
