Project description:Integrated analysis of whole-genome sequencing, long-range optical mapping, single-cell DNA sequencing, and fluorescence in situ hybridization to find extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) as the primary source of MYC amplifications and driver fusions in SCLC. ecDNAs bring to proximity enhancer elements and oncogenes through circularization, creating transcription-amplifying units, driving heterogeneity of MYC gene dosage and expression of SCLC lineage-defining transcription factors.
