Estimating telomere length from whole genome sequencing data
(2018-07-20)This thesis details the development of two computational tools, Telomerecat and Parabam, as well as their applications to whole genome sequencing (WGS) data. Telomerecat is a tool for estimating telomere length from WGS ... -
Decoding the regulatory role and epiclonal dynamics of DNA methylation in 1482 breast tumours
(2018-04-28)Breast cancer is a clinically and molecularly heterogeneous disease displaying distinct therapeutic responses. Although recent studies have explored the genomic and transcriptomic landscapes of breast cancer, the epigenetic ... -
Inferring tumour evolution from single-cell and multi-sample data
(2018-05-19)Tumour development has long been recognised as an evolutionary process during which cells accumulate mutations and evolve into a mix of genetically distinct cell subpopulations. The resulting genetic intra-tumour heterogeneity ... -
Towards the understanding of pericentriolar satellite biology
(2018-05-19)Pericentriolar satellites (PS) are electron dense granules surrounding the centrosome, the major microtubule-organizing centre in eukaryotic cells. In cycling cells the centrosome promotes spindle assembly and the faithful ...
