MIT Computational Biology: Genomes, Networks, Evolution, Health http://compbio.mit.edu/6.047/ Prof. Manolis Kellis Full playlist with all videos in order is here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLypiXJdtIca6U5uQOCHjP9Op3gpa177fK All slides from Fall 2019 are here: https://stellar.mit.edu/S/course/6/fa19/6.047/materials.html Outline for this lecture: 0. Introduction: oncogenes, tumor suppressors, hallmarks - Hallmarks of cancer, tumor-suppressors, proto-oncogenes/oncogenes, mutator phenotype, oncoviruses, and fusion oncogenes. - Exome sequencing lessons: recurrence and heterogeneity 1. Recurrence: common signatures across types/patients/tumors/clones - Evolutionary dynamics: clonal heterogeneity, computational models - WGS lessons: non-coding drivers and convergence 2. Background mutation rate: regions, chromatin states, patients, plexi - Convergence: mutations  enhancers  genes  pathways 3. Beyond mutations: epigenomics, functional heterogeneity - Epigenomic alterations: reprogramming - Single-cell sequencing: functional heterogeneity 4. Tumor immunology, microenvironment, immunotherapy - Tumor-microenvironment interactions, cancer immunoediting. - Neo-antigens, immune suppression, immunotherapy.
