Extrachromosomal Amplification of Human Papillomavirus Episomes as a Mechanism of Cervical Carcinogenesis
2021-10-24
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Integration of Human Papillomaviruses (HPV) is an important mechanism of carcinogenesis but is absent in a significant fraction of HPV16+ tumors. We applied long-read whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to cervical cancer cell lines and tumors. In two HPV16+ cell lines, we identified large tandem arrays of full-length and truncated viral genomes integrated into multiple locations indicating formation a...
