Synovial sarcoma (SyS) is a cancer driven by a fusion oncoprotein, SS18::SSX, but the mechanism underlying the oncoprotein-mediated tumorigenesis remains unclear. Here, the authors employ transgenic mouse models and multi-omics to show how SS18:SSX modifies the activity and recruitment of BAF-family chromatin remodeling complexes to drive SyS tumorigenesis.
