Volker Hovestadt et al. publish medulloblastoma single cell transcriptomics study in Nature
Volker Hovestadt, Kyle S. Smith, Laure Bihannic, Mariella G. Filbin together led this study of medulloblastoma cellular heterogeneity. Congratulations to the team! Medulloblastoma is a malignant childhood cerebellar tumor type that comprises distinct molecular subgroups. Whereas genomic characteristics of these subgroups are well defined, the extent to which cellular diversity underlies their divergent biology and … Continued
Congratulations to Yotam and Paloma on the publication of their pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor paper in Nature Medicine
Yotam Drier (Bernstein lab) and Paloma Cejas (Shivdasani lab at DFCI) describe how enhancer signatures in non-functional PNET tumors can be used to stratify subtypes and predict patient outcomes. Read the paper in Nature Medicine. This was a great collaboration between the Bernstein lab at MGH, the Shivdasani lab at DFCI, several teams of clinicians … Continued

Our latest perspective piece is out in Nature Genetics, congrats Efrat and Jason!
Single-cell and single-molecule epigenomics to uncover genome regulation at unprecedented resolution. Shema E, Bernstein BE, Buenrostro JD. Nat Genet. 2019 Jan Recent advances in single-cell and single-molecule epigenomic technologies now enable the study of genome regulation and dynamics at unprecedented resolution. In this Perspective, we highlight some of these transformative technologies and discuss how they … Continued
Filbin, Tirosh, Hovestadt et al. dissect oncogenic programs in H3K27M gliomas by scRNA-seq
“The cellular composition of H3K27M gliomas Diffuse midline gliomas with histone H3 lysine27-to-methionine mutations (H3K27M-glioma) are an aggressive type of childhood cancer with few options for treatment. Filbin et al. used a single-cell sequencing approach to study the oncogenic programs, genetics, and cellular hierarchies of H3K27M-glioma. Tumors were mainly composed of cells resembling oligodendrocyte precursor cells, whereas … Continued
