May 11, 2014Access : Surfing the p53 network : Nature
April 12, 2014Original article emphasizing the importance of networks to cancer
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v408/n6810/full/408307a0.html
A paper that was done by Vogelstein, Lane and Levine in Nature (2000, November 16) that talks about how cancer is associated with a network and these network of genes associated with p53. This is in response to the idea that p53 is such a crucial molecule in cancer as a tumor suppressor and it marks well known cancer biologists discussing this from a network perspective.
Three-Dimensional Genome Architecture Influences Partner Selection for Chromosomal Translocations in Human Disease
April 10, 2014QT:"We show that many translocation-prone pairs of regions genome-wide, including the cancer translocation partners BCR-ABL and MYC-IGH, display elevated Hi-C contact frequencies in normal human cells."
