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? x.com/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.

📢 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
