Understanding the role of cancer’s circular genome in tumour evolution

23rd September 2022

New research, co-led by Dr Benjamin Werner from Barts Cancer Institute at Queen Mary University of London, indicates that the circular DNA structures present in around a third of cancers lead to extensive genetic diversity within tumours, giving them the ability to adapt rapidly to environmental stress and resist targeted cancer treatment.

Turning back the molecular clock: Tracing cell lineage

6th January 2022

Researchers from Barts Cancer Institute at Queen Mary University of London, the Moffitt Cancer Center and the University of Southern California, have developed a new method that measures subtle changes to the genetic code of cells (called DNA methylation) to study the dynamics of what happens to cells within our bodies over time. The new method, published in Nature Biotechnology, provides a way to measure the birth and death of human cells, making it possible to trace cell lineage and evolution.
