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 a [...]

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 to [...]

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 that [...]

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 pages. [...]

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. It [...]

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 to [...]

Heat-maps are graphical representations of data where values in a matrix are represented following a color scale. This way of representing data has proven to be a very [...]

This year the Barcelona Summer School of Genomics and Bioinformatics is offering two courses, one on "Next Generation Sequencing for Medical Genomics", coordinated by Ferran Casals from the [...]

A while ago we published a review about multidimensional cancer genomics data visualization in Genome Medicine. There, we focused on effective and common visualization techniques for exploring oncogenomics data [...]

This is a very short post to share the poster that I am presenting this week at the Biology of Genomes meeting in CSHL.   […]
