Thank you to everyone who has joined us to learn more about gene-environment interactions in human health and disease!
Interested in learning more about how genes and the environment shape human phenotypes? Access the materials from last year's course: ebi.ac.uk/training/events/ex…

Did you know that the environment of our ancestors can influence epigenetic information that is inherited across generations?
@AnaBoskovic18's group studies how these epigenetic factors regulate gene expression and influence embryonic development:

Most excited to see our study presenting the mechanism driving ~50% of osteosarcomas (LTA #chromothripsis) out in @CellCellPress! How does the final version differ from the preprint? xitter.cf/isidrolauscher/status/… Buckle up!! -tons of new exciting results ahead! 👇👇
To close 2023, we present our work on #osteosarcoma genome and clonal evolution biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… How does #osteosarcoma arise? What rearrangement mechanisms cause some of the most complex #chromothripsis events seen in human cancer? Does chromothripsis occur subclonally?👇

Osteosarcoma, an aggressive bone cancer, most commonly affects children and young adults.
New research solves the mystery of what drives the genomic rearrangements causing the aggressive development and evolution of osteosarcoma tumours.

Extremely proud of the work below (a great collab with @hackettlab ): a valiant effort spearheaded by @MathildeJDura @bbbranjan with the help and support from @HumanEcosystemz and many others!
📢 Preprint! Does the environment of a father before conception influence offspring?
Even more, how do paternal genetics & age interact with exposures to affect F1 outcome?
We tested this systematically, with intriguing findings & some cautionary tales
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Delighted to share the latest pre-print from @hackettlab & @AnaBoskovic18 @EMBLRome from their Human Ecosystems project exploring how environmental exposures, genetics and age of fathers influence offspring. Find out more: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
