Very excited our paper is online! @adib_elio @WinstonCheung5 @SylvanBacaLab @DrChoueiri #MattFreedman. sciencedirect.com/science/ar… We profile chromatin and transcription across normal kidney →primary ccRCC→metastasis to define what changes (and what persists) during progression 1/

Fascinating study at the intersection of #liquidbiopsy and #genetics led by Ziwei Zhang and Surya Chhetri: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…. They found that circulating chromatin in blood can reveal how genetic variants contribute to disease by affecting gene regulation.
Circulating chromatin reveals the effects of disease-associated variants on gene regulation

Circulating chromatin reveals the effects of disease-associated variants on gene regulation

A fundamental challenge in human genetics is determining how variation in regulatory DNA shapes complex traits and disease risk. Chromatin quantitative trait loci (cQTLs) can address this challenge...

Exciting work presented by Ziwei Zhang on cistrome-wide association studies of kidney cancer at #ASHG2023! The rapidly growing number of epigenomic profiles from cancer are a gold-mine for studying #GWAS risk variants in noncoding DNA.
