Abstract Understanding the genetic and nongenetic determinants of tumor protein 53 ( TP53 ) - mutation-driven clonal evolution subsequent transformation is a crucial step toward design rational therapeutic strategies. Here we carry out allelic resolution single-cell multi-omic analysis hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) from patients with myeloproliferative neoplasm who transform to TP53- mutant secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML). All showed dominant ‘multihit’ HSPC clones at...
Abstract Although the key aspects of genetic evolution and their clinical implications in clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) are well documented, how features coevolve with phenotype tumor microenvironment (TME) remains elusive. Here, through joint genomic–transcriptomic analysis 243 samples from 79 patients recruited to TRACERx Renal study, we identify pervasive nongenetic intratumor heterogeneity, over 40% not attributable alterations. By integrating transcriptomes phylogenetic...
Abstract The functional role of bone morphogenetic protein ( BMP ) signalling in colorectal cancer CRC is poorly defined, with contradictory results cell line models reflecting the inherent difficulties assessing a pathway that context‐dependent and subject to genetic constraints. By transcriptional response diploid human colonic epithelial ligand stimulation, we generated prognostic signature, which was applied multiple datasets investigate heterogeneity across molecular subtypes. We linked...

Single-cell RNA-sequencing technologies are ideally placed to resolve intratumoral heterogeneity. However, the lack of coverage across key mutation hotspots has precluded correlation genetic and transcriptional readouts from same single cell. To overcome this, we developed TARGET-seq, a protocol for TARGETed high-sensitivity single-cell mutational analysis with extremely low allelic dropout rates, parallel RNA SEQuencing, cell-surface proteomics. Here, present detailed step-by-step including...
