Precision Epigenomics focuses on addressing cancer by targeting epigenetic changes (i.e., DNA methylation) that drive tumor development, progression, and treatment resistance. While genetic mutations have long been a focus in oncology, epigenetic dysregulation plays a critical role in how cancer cells behave, adapt, and evade therapy. Their work centers on using their understanding of DNA methylation to develop new and innovative diagnostic tests to detect cancer earlier.Continue reading

Now, a collaborative team of researchers at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), part of City of Hope, and Temple University has uncovered a link between decreases in an enzyme that makes choline in the liver —an essential nutrient for humans— and severity of NAFLD.
