Epigenetics and human disease research lab at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine -- Department of Genetics & Genome Sciences

Genome wide association studies have been used to identify genes that may be linked to opioid use disorder, but need hundreds of thousands of samples. @MeWantData & collaborators have developed a way to identify these genes, using a small # of samples: wi.mit.edu/news/opioids-and-…

Evolutionary therapy is a new subfield in medicine (distinct from #evomed) that seeks to use our understanding of evolution to enable novel #cancer (& pathogen) therapy. Here we present the first link between #evotherapy and quantum physics. A #thread nature.com/articles/s41567-0…

Congrats to @CorradinLab!
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is considered an autoimmune disease. Researchers in the @CorradinLab led by @annAmbarbeau & the @TesarLab led by Daniel Factor found a role in MS for cells in the central nervous system—a potential new avenue for MS therapies: ow.ly/xUDc50z4sVb

Excellent preview in @Cancer_Cell covering recent work on the role of extrachromosomal circular DNA in cancer, including our study in @NatureGenet with @anton_gh et al. Thank you for the highlight, Chris Ott. cell.com/cancer-cell/pdf/S15…

Check out our first preprint! Together with @RichardKoche @CMskcc we show that MYCN amplicon structure is not only determined by local enhancers , as shown by @ScacheriLab @CellCellPress but that chimeric amplicons can recruit distal enhancers leading to enhancer hijacking.
