Exogenous Sequences in Tumors and Immune Cells (Exotic): A Tool for Estimating the Microbe Abundances in Tumor RNA-seq Data

Abstract excerpt

The microbiome affects cancer, from carcinogenesis to response to treatments. New evidence suggests that microbes are also present in many tumors, though the scope of how they affect tumor biology and clinical outcomes is in its early stages. A broad survey of tumor microbiome samples across several independent datasets is needed to identify robust correlations for follow-up testing. We created a tool called...
