This study nominates immune escape as an early event in colorectal cancer and shows how this can be driven through both genetic and epigenetic changes.

A new version of nanorate DNA sequencing, with an error rate lower than five errors per billion base pairs and compatible with whole-exome and targeted capture, enables epidemiological-scale studies of somatic mutation and selection and the generation of high-resolution selection maps across coding and non-coding sites for many genes.

Competition between transcription factors and mismatch repair machinery drives localized hypermutation at regulatory elements, with implications for cancer and genome evolution.

Cancer evolutionary dynamics are quantitatively inferred using a method, EVOFLUx, applied to fluctuating DNA methylation.

A single-cell sequencing study using more than 30,000 tumour genomes from human ovarian cancers shows that whole-genome doubling is an ongoing mutational process that drives tumour evolution and disru...

The paralogs cytidine diphosphate diacylglycerol synthase 1 and 2 form a potentially targetable synthetic lethal relationship in mesenchymal-like cancers that involves disruption of lipid metabolism.

BJC Reports - Breaking barriers: we need a multidisciplinary approach to tackle cancer drug resistance

Building predictive models of the cell requires systematically mapping how perturbations reshape each cell's state, function, and behavior. Here, we present Tahoe-100M, a giga-scale single-cell atlas of 100 million transcriptomic profiles measuring how each of 1,100 small-molecule perturbations impact cells across 50 cancer cell lines. Our high-throughput Mosaic platform, composed of a highly diverse and optimally balanced 'cell village', reduces batch effects and enables parallel profiling of thousands of conditions at single-cell resolution at an unprecedented scale. As the largest single-cell dataset to date, Tahoe-100M enables artificial-intelligence (AI)-driven models to learn context-dependent functions, capturing fundamental principles of gene regulation and network dynamics. Although we leverage cancer models and pharmacological compounds to create this resource, Tahoe-100M is fundamentally designed as a broadly applicable perturbation atlas and supports deeper insights into cell biology across multiple tissues and contexts. By publicly releasing this atlas, we aim to accelerate the creation and development of robust AI frameworks for systems biology, ultimately improving our ability to predict and manipulate cellular behaviors across a wide range of applications. ### Competing Interest Statement Jesse Zhang, Airol A Ubas, Richard de Borja, Valentine Svensson, Nicole Thomas, Neha Thakar, Ian Lai, Aidan Winters, Umair Khan, Matthew G.
