Our lab receives funding from La Marató de TV3
We are very honored to announce that we have received funds for a 3-year project from the money raised in the last telethon broadcast La Marató de [...]
Our research explained in a short video
The University Pompeu Fabra has produced a video in which we explain in brief our research. We recorded three versions of the video, one in Catalan, one [...]
IntOGen-mutations analysis pipeline 2.4.0 released
Recently we published the paper describing IntOGen-mutations (see this post for more information). Now we are happy to announce a new release of the IntOGen-mutations pipeline (version [...]
My slides on: Identification of cancer drivers across tumor types
Yesterday I gave a talk at the PRBB Computational Genomics Seminars Series. In that talk I summarized our work of this year in the lab. Basically, we [...]
Comprehensive identification of mutational cancer driver genes across 12 tumor types
The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) is an initiative supported by the National Cancer Institute and the National Human Genome Research Institute. Its immediate aim is to obtain [...]
The Cancer Genome Atlas Pan-Cancer Project
Yesterday the paper describing TCGA Pan-Cancer Project was published in Nature Genetics. We’ve had the opportunity to participate in this exciting project and here I would like [...]
Chromatin maintenance and cancer
It is now well established that cancer is a collection of mostly genetic diseases. They progress through the accumulation of alterations, such as point mutations in genes [...]
IntOGen-mutations: the analysis of cancer genomes published in Nature Methods
Yesterday night, our IntOGen-mutations paper went online in Nature Methods. A couple of years of hard work of our team lies now condensed into a couple of [...]
OncodriveCLUST: a method to reveal cancer drivers based on mutation clustering
We have recently developed a novel method, named OncodriveCLUST, aimed to analyse the mutations observed in sets of tumor samples and identify genes involved in the disease. [...]
How to identify functional genetic variants in cancer genomes?
The possibility to rapidly and inexpensively sequence tumor genomes is opening important new avenues for cancer research. One of the main objectives when sequencing tumor genomes is [...]
