Abstract excerpt
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is stratified into four consensus molecular subtypes (CMS1-4). CMS3 represents the metabolic subtype, but its wiring remains largely undefined. To identify the underlying tumorigenesis of CMS3, organoids derived from 16 genetically engineered mouse models are analyzed. Upon in vitro Cre-recombinase activation, transformation is established and transcriptional profiling reveals that...
