Although the genetic contributions to oncogenic transitions have been investigated, epigenetic drivers remain less understood. Here we constructed a pan-cancer epigenetic and transcriptomic atlas using single-nucleus chromatin accessibility data (using single-nucleus assay for transposase-accessible chromatin) from 225 samples and matched single-cell or sing

Main The spatiotemporal dynamics of chromatin decondensation and subsequent binding of transcriptional machinery1 has an important but incompletely understood role in pathogenic transitions in cancer, such as initiation, progression and metastasis2. Epigenetic regulation affects gene expression, lineage determination, cell–cell interactions and therapeutic resistance. In contrast to genetic drivers, such as somatic mutations, epigenetic drivers are less well defined3. However, they might be identified by an enrichment type of analysis, similar to how driver genes are found. Understanding…
