“Our results may be informative to many patients with cancer who believe their diagnosis is attributed to previous anxiety or depression,” said Laurier's @david_soave, who co-led this international study.

A recent @NatureComms paper by @inofechm, Dr. @david_soave, Dr. Philip Awadalla (@AwadallaLab) and Dr. Sagi Abelson has been selected as an Editors' Highlight. 👏 nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

How do things like age, ancestry & environment alter our gene expression? This is a question Michelle Harwood (@mp_harwood) focuses on in her research. In this Q&A, we talked molecular genetics, research & impostor syndrome. ➡️ bit.ly/3ndY2jX

How to identify cells from within heterogenous tumour? PhD candidate @inofechm has developed scATOMIC that uses single-cell RNAseq to analyse multicellular cancer tumour microenvironment! Beautiful work! @AwadallaLab @OICR_news nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Cell-free DNA Methylome Signatures Show Potential for Early Cancer Detection. In a study presented at the ASHG annual meeting this week, researchers identified plasma cfDNA methylation profiles that were predictive of certain cancers. ow.ly/SOYX104akHu

Very happy to share our new publication in @ScienceAdvances! We show that selection affects allelic expression in humans through recombination and effective population size. Huge thanks to my team of past and present members of the @AwadallaLab. bit.ly/abl3819
