The pathological and genomic impact of CTCF depletion in mammalian model systems
(2018-08-23)CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) binds DNA, thereby helping to partition the mammalian genome into discrete structural and regulatory domains. In doing so, it insulates chromatin and fine-tunes gene activation, repression, and ... -
Transcriptional and developmental consequences of aneuploidy during male meiosis
(2019-03-23)Eukaryotes have developed stringent regulatory mechanisms that control cell division and ensure proper chromosome segregation. Maintaining genome integrity is especially important during meiosis, the specialised cell ... -
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 ...
