Significance Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive subtype. Despite extensive genome-sequencing efforts, there still an incomplete understanding of genetic networks driving TNBC. Here, we used Sleeping Beauty transposon mutagenesis to identify genes that cooperate with mutant P ten in induction We identified 12 candidate TNBC trunk drivers and a larger number progression genes. Subsequent functional validation studies eight human tumor suppressor genes, including...
The systematic identification of genetic events driving cellular transformation and tumor progression in the absence a highly recurrent oncogenic driver mutation is challenge cutaneous oncology. In squamous cell carcinoma (cuSCC), high UV-induced mutational burden poses hurdle to achieve complete molecular landscape this disease. Here, we utilized Sleeping Beauty transposon mutagenesis system statistically define drivers keratinocyte cuSCC vivo UV-IR, identified both known suppressor genes...
