Vårt projekt om hur vi med nya metoder letar cancergener och där förståelsen kan leda till en mer skräddarsydd behandling var ett av de 224 som fick anslag från @Cancerfonden! Tack alla som skänker gåvor till forskningen och gör detta möjligt! #tillsammansmotcancer #cancerfonden

In our new study, we identify novel candidate cancer driver genes in medulloblastoma by using evolutionary constraint. The results imply different molecular pathways in different patient groups opening for specified diagnostics and personalized treatment.

- 11 papers from the @ZoonomiaProject comparing the genomes of 240 mammals. A fantastic effort for understanding mammals, mammalian evolution and ourselves.

"In humans worldwide, the Zoonomia studies [genomes from 240 placental mammals] demonstrate how explicitly thinking about humans as a mammal among mammals can substantially enrich our understanding of the emergence of evolutionary novelty and human uniqueness."

[Broad Institute @broadinstitute]

From the @ZoonomiaProject — the largest comparative genomics resource in the world — comes a package of papers that compare the genomes of 240 mammals. Learn more: https://t.co/czUkomvRDy

A team co-led by Elinor Karlsson, PhD, is showing how much we can learn from studying the genomes of mammals. Read about the 13 studies published in @ScienceMagazine that help scientists better understand health and disease: https://t.co/gArI8kJt6V @eenork @KltLab @broadinstitute

https://t.co/d8h4BqNHjB New! We use Bayesian and selection methods to find genetic risk factors for canine atopic dermatitis in 4 breeds. 15 associated loci, 8 selection regions, many indicating interesting similarities between canine and human AD. #caninehealth #atopicdermatitis

An interesting new study from our colleagues at Broad Institute investigating behavioral and other traits in more than 2000 purebred and mixed-breed dogs.

Earth BioGenome Project #EarthBioGenome @EBPGenome moving from pilot projects to full-scale sequencing of all plants, animals, fungi and other microbial life on Earth. 3 great papers out in PNAS this week with contribution from @scilifelab https://t.co/EOzkVqZWj3

[Kerstin Lindblad-Toh Lab @KltLab]

Eric Axelsson and colleagues present WGS data from 8 dog breeds, showing that cavalier King Charles spaniels carry more harmful genetic variants than other breeds in the study and identify candidate risk alleles for the heart disease MMVD.

Our research is getting noticed! This paper comparing the genomics of canine hemangiosarcoma and human angiosarcoma is one of Molecular Cancer Research's most cited of 2019. Another success to put on the "post-pandemic celebrate list"! https://t.co/ldeoRo0CfR
