We have discovered a novel type of noncoding RNA, xTSS RNA, which is expressed at antisense TSS regions of genes that accumulate AID-mediated somatic mutations
A 3D computational model to simulate the multifocal glioblastoma showed the spatiotemporal model of the tumour formation. The tumour cells were coloured by tumour lesions and mutational profiles.
