Cambridge Epigenetix Raises $88M in Series D Funding Round
The firm will use the proceeds to commercialize its genomic and epigenomic sequencing technology, which it expects to sell early next year.
Epigenetic Control of Glioma Cell States Elucidated in New Studies
Understanding DNA methylation's role in cell state transitions could enable new therapies that target oncogenic state changes, new research suggests.
Identical Twins Carry Lifelong Epigenetic Signature Reflecting Early Genomic Events
The signature encompasses 800 sites and hints at how monozygotic twins might develop, though the researchers say more functional studies are needed.
Current RNA-seq methods that use cDNA conversion are missing important information in SARS-CoV-2 genomes and other significant RNA molecules, researchers say.
Seasonal Influenza Vaccination Leads to Immune Cell Epigenomic Changes
Flu vaccinations with the AS03 adjuvant led to additional changes, including increased resistance to other, unrelated viruses.
