Single cell multi-omic whole genome sequencing and chromatin accessibility profiling reveals genome-epigenome coevolution in colorectal cancer Epigenetic alterations co-evolve with genetic mutations to drive carcinogenesis and treatment response. Resolving genome-epigenome coevolution requires accurate multi-omic single cell measurement. Her...

Are you using #AI to analyse #Histopathology images?

A team of ICR researchers have created a glossary to help AI developers understand tumour histopathology.

They hope that this will speed up the development of AI algorithms for cancer research ⤵️
