Dynamic changes in chromosome and nuclear architecture during maturation of normal and ALS C9orf72 motor neurons
We have investigated changes in chromosome conformation, nuclear organization, and transcription during differentiation and maturation of control and mutant motor neurons harboring hexanucleotide expa...

The projected rise in global cancer deaths
1990 —5.9 million
2023—10.4 million
2050—18.8 million
is yet another reason we need to get primary prevention into high gear, which is now possible but not getting done

Excited to share another new preprint from our lab in which we developed a cluster-based phasing strategy using long read nano-NOMe-seq data to link distinct CTCF binding states—captured at the single molecule level—to the transcriptional status of genes: biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
