BioRxiv preprint from us identifying ultra-conserved Human CpG Dinucleotides - the crucial motif for DNA methylation in differentiated cells - from >0.5 million whole genome sequences (UKB/gnomAD).
This identified enriched signals in developmental, ageing-related, & brain-expressed genes. [1/2]

Advancing early disease detection
With our funding researchers at Queen Mary will investigate how the marks on DNA in our blood can be used to detect a wider range of diseases than at present.
We'll be leveraging the expertise at @qmulepigenetics.bsky.social to develop liquid biopsy-based diagnostics to serve our ethnically diverse population. Co-led by Gabriella Ficz, Christopher Bell, Stamatina Iliodromoti and Ajay Sinha. Amazing support from Barts Charity.
