Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Measuring the chromatin state of a tumor provides a powerful map of its epigenetic commitments; however, as these are generally bulk measurements, it has not yet been possible to connect changes in chromatin accessibility to the pathological signatures of complex tumors. In parallel, recent advances in computational pathology have enabled the identification of spatial features and immune cells within oral cavity tumors and their microenvironment.
