Deciphering Cancer Genomes and Networks
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Large-scale cancer genome sequencing consortia, such as TCGA, have provided a huge influx of somatic mutation data across large cohorts of patients. Understanding how these observed genetic alterations give rise to specific cancer phenotypes is a major aim of cancer genomics. This is challenging because numerous somatic mutations occur in each cancer genome, but only a subset are cancer-relevant; further, there is a high degree of mutational heterogeneity across individuals. Fortunately, the large and diverse biological datasets collected over the past few decades — inclu...

Mining the Unexplored Cancer Kinome for Novel Therapeutic Targets in Squamous Cell Carcinomas
NCI ’ s Center for Cancer Research (CCR) Grand Rounds
Cancer genomic sequencing has significantly impacted the understanding of the temporal and spatial genetic alterations that lead to tumorigenesis. This information enables the development of targeted therapies that result in durable and less toxic responses in patients. In regard to kinases, the biomedical community has focused research efforts on approximately 200 kinases among the 538 kinases present in the human kinome, yet siRNA screens and cancer genomic studies indicate that the vast majority of these unexplored kinases (approximately 300) are implicated in canc...
