Gene fusions have a high impact on cancer initiation, progression, as well as morbidity. Today there is a vast amount of knowledge about gene fusions, providing enough information to answer some key questions on fusion-related oncogenesis. Moreover, the rapid progression of high-throughput sequencing technologies has generated a huge stream of novel oncogenic gene fusion predictions. the first objective of this thesis is to identify the hallmarks of fusion genes that are oncogenic, using integrative statistical screening of high-throughput genomic data. The data presented argues that the pool of fusion partner genes, their tissue-specificity and specific pairing are non-random and correlate with gene expression levels. The functional characteristics of fusion proteins (the retained domain combinations and protein interaction interfaces) also appear to be very specific. It was also determined that genome organization on different levels (chromosome conformation and replication timing) influences fusion partner gene selection. However it was shown, that it is unlikely that the spatial proximity in nucleus directly shapes fusion partner gene pairing. the aforementioned hallmarks were used to construct a pipeline to distinguish oncogenic fusions from noise and passenger events in predictions made from next-generation sequencing data. The classifier performed well both for training\/testing datasets comprised of several hundreds of gene fusions and during an extensive follow-up validation for which recent genomic data and recently discovered oncogenic fusions were used.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Datos acad\u00e9micos de la tesis doctoral \u00ab<strong>Computational analysis of fusion genes in cancer<\/strong>\u00ab<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>T\u00edtulo de la tesis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Computational analysis of fusion genes in cancer <\/li>\n<li><strong>Autor:<\/strong>\u00a0 Mikhail Shugay <\/li>\n<li><strong>Universidad:<\/strong>\u00a0 Navarra<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fecha de lectura de la tesis:<\/strong>\u00a0 22\/11\/2013<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Direcci\u00f3n y tribunal<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Director de la tesis<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Francisco Javier Novo Villaverde<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tribunal<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Presidente del tribunal: edurne Barrenechea tartas <\/li>\n<li>joaqu\u00edn Dopazo bl\u00e1zquez (vocal)<\/li>\n<li>\u00ed\u00f1igo Ortiz de mendibil ayuso (vocal)<\/li>\n<li>angel Rubio diaz cordoves (vocal)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tesis doctoral de Mikhail Shugay Chromosomal rearrangements could lead to fusion of genes located in different regions of the genome.
