Finally made it to bsky! For my first post here, I am happy to share our work that was published in @natcomms.nature.com We discover that #EZHIP expression and K27me3 loss are prevalent events in high-grade #osteosarcoma.

Aberrant EZHIP expression drives tumorigenesis in osteosarcoma - Nature Communications
Osteosarcomas (OS) are aggressive bone tumors which have no actionable recurrent driver mutations. Here the authors identify aberrant expression of EZHIP in a subset of OS patients as an oncogenic dri...

Activity of most genes is controlled by multiple enhancers, but is there activation coordinated? We leveraged Nanopore to identify a specific set of elements that are simultaneously accessible on the same DNA molecules and are coordinated in their activation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The @terryfoxresearch.bsky.social @marathonofhope.bsky.social cancer centres network has now processed over 10,000 patient genomic profiles, with over 5,300 complete clinical data sets, and now comprises 50 member institutions. A truly national effort inspired by an inspirational Canadian. 🇨🇦 🤯
