Identification of recurrent noncoding mutations in B-cell lymphoma using capture Hi-C.
Cornish, AJ; Hoang, PH; Dobbins, SE; Law, PJ; Chubb, D; et al. (AMER SOC HEMATOLOGY, 2019-01-08)The identification of driver mutations is fundamental to understanding oncogenesis. Although genes frequently mutated in B-cell lymphoma have been identified, the search for driver mutations has largely focused on the ... -
