Key characteristics of cancers learned from TCGA (Nature Cancer, 2021): Published as part of a retrospective on the landmark TCGA cancer genomics program, this is a visual representation of the key findings of genomics analyses across 33 cancer types. Each panel provides a concise summary of findings for each cancer, including incidence, and survival rates, mutational signatures and associated driver genes. Click image for details

BreakpointSurveyor is a bioinformatics and data visualization pipeline developed to visualize complex viral integration events in genomic data. Its innovative 2D visualization technique allows a number of lines of evidence of virus integration into the human chromosome in cancer to be portrayed clearly, and was used to screen large numbers of such events. This comprehensive computational pipeline includes bioinformatics preprocessing as well as visualization steps, was published and is available on GitHub (click image). Published as: M.A. Wyczalkowski, et al, Bioinformatics (2017) DOI: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btx362
