St. Jude Survivorship Portal: Sharing and Analyzing Large Clinical and Genomic Datasets from Pediatric Cancer Survivors

St. Jude Survivorship Portal: Analysis and Sharing of Large-Scale Clinical and Genomic Data of Pediatric Cancer Survivors Research Background In the United States, the five-year survival rate for childhood cancer has increased from about 60% in the 1970s to over 85% today. Despite the significant improvement in survival rates, these childhood cance...

Identification of Clonal Hematopoiesis Driver Mutations Through In Silico Saturation Mutagenesis

Introduction In the process of healthy hematopoiesis, a group of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) contribute to all blood-related lineages. However, as we age, this process often leads to clonal hematopoiesis (CH), meaning the expansion of clones originating from a particular HSC, which then occupies a significant portion of blood cells and platelets...
