    Epigenetic evolution and lineage histories of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia

    Genetic and epigenetic intra-tumoral heterogeneity cooperate to shape the evolutionary course of cancer1. Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is a highly informative model for cancer evolution as it undergoes sub...

    Corrupted coordination of epigenetic modifications leads to diverging chromatin states and transcriptional heterogeneity in CLL

    Cancer evolution is fueled by epigenetic as well as genetic diversity. In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), intra-tumoral DNA methylation (DNAme) heterogeneity empowers evolution. Here, to comprehensively st...

    The African coelacanth genome provides insights into tetrapod evolution

    The discovery of a living coelacanth specimen in 1938 was remarkable, as this lineage of lobe-finned fish was thought to have become extinct 70 million years ago. The modern coelacanth looks remarkably similar...
