Researchers from @WCM_MeyerCancer and @MSKCancerCenter have identified a previously unrecognized form of hormone therapy-resistant prostate cancer. This discovery could open the door to the development of therapies that treat this specific disease.

In first one we show how to identify active vs. poised enhancers & build reliable enhancer to gene connections only using ATAC-seq & RNA-seq. 1/n

Ever wondered where u can find the list of non-coding cancer drivers published in so many papers ? There are many resources to find catalogues of cancer driver genes but where you can find non-coding drivers. Check out https://t.co/fXFeXdmsuU and our paper https://t.co/ygpQwgkBnd

Our work on modeling CTCF insulator loops using deep learning and predicting the effects of mutations is now out in @GenomeBiology w/ @trieutuanbk and Alex !

Our work on loss-of-function tolerance of enhancers is now online https://t.co/ABr5wT3Onl. We predict LoF-tolerance scores for all enhancers that we hope will help interpretation of non-coding variants. Thanks to reviewers for very useful comments ! w/ @duoericaxu @gokcumen
