Characterizing genetic intra-tumor heterogeneity across 2,658 human cancer genomes

…, LD Stein, O Spiro, S Vembu, DA Wheeler, TP Yang - Cell, 2021 - cell.com
Intra-tumor heterogeneity (ITH) is a mechanism of therapeutic resistance and therefore an
important clinical challenge. However, the extent, origin, and drivers of ITH across cancer …

Large-scale association analysis identifies new risk loci for coronary artery disease

Human aging-associated DNA hypermethylation occurs preferentially at bivalent chromatin domains

…, TA Down, S Maslau, T Andrew, TP Yang… - Genome …, 2010 - genome.cshlp.org
There is a growing realization that some aging-associated phenotypes/diseases have an
epigenetic basis. Here, we report the first genome-scale study of epigenomic dynamics during …

Epigenome-wide scans identify differentially methylated regions for age and age-related phenotypes in a healthy ageing population

JT Bell, PC Tsai, TP Yang, R Pidsley, J Nisbet… - PLoS …, 2012 - journals.plos.org
Age-related changes in DNA methylation have been implicated in cellular senescence and
longevity, yet the causes and functional consequences of these variants remain unclear. To …
