Microsatellite instability at U2AF-binding polypyrimidic tract sites perturbs alternative splicing during colorectal cancer initiation

Microsatellite instability (MSI) due to mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR) is common in colorectal cancer (CRC). To date, MSI in CRC has been found to be associated with somatic coding events, but the noncoding pathophysiological impact of this mode of genomic instability is yet poorly understood. Here we performed an extensive analysis of coding and noncoding MSI events at the different steps of colorectal tumorigenesis using whole exome and searched for associated splicing events via RNA sequencing at the bulk-tumor. To do these analysis we have sequenced 3 datasets, the first one of whole exome from bulk-tumor and paired healthy tissue. A second one of RNA-seq of bulk-tumor with a part of them being from the same samples as the ones in the previous dataset. The third one of whole exome from precancerous samples mainly obtained from lynch patients.
