Epigenomics Program Seminar series

The Cell Circuits & Epigenomics programs host a weekly seminar series at the ӳý for affiliated members on anything and everything to do with genome biology and cell circuitry. If you would like to be added to the distribution list, please email cce-admin@broadinstitute.org

 

Epigenomics in the news

How massive datasets generated at ӳý are powering the latest AI models in biology
Kristin Ardlie and Brad Bernstein discuss how data resources GTEx and ENCODE form the foundation for cutting-edge AI and genome biology discoveries

Why brain cancer is often resistant to immunotherapy
Team led by Brad Bernstein and Chadi El Farran found four coordinated gene expression programs in immune cells from glioma tumors, including two that could lead to immunotherapy resistance.

 

 
Jason was named a 2023 MacArthur Fellow for developing powerful new technologies that provide detailed views — right down to the single cell — of which genes get turned on and off in various contexts.

A conversation about the legacy of ENCODE and what comes next
Charles Epstein discusses the impact of the NHGRI ENCODE consortium on our understanding of genome regulation, and how it is paving the way for new efforts.

ӳý scientists join new consortium studying the function of genetic variation 
Brad Bernstein, Jason Buenrostro and Chuck Epstein share their thoughts on the Impact of Genomic Variation on Function (IGVF) program, and how IGVF will contribute to research and medical communities. 


Brad Bernstein and Gilbert Rahme establish an epigenetic mouse model for glioma, providing insight into how epigenetics can initiate cancer.
