We provide an overview of a recent study in Cancer Discovery by Leongamornlert and colleagues involving genomic profiling of 30 patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms using available blood or bone marrow samples to assess what factors underlie disease evolution or predict stability. See related article by Leongamor...

Reconstructing clonal relationships among human cells is fundamental to understanding development, aging, and disease. Somatic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations act as endogenous single-cell barcodes measurable alongside cell-state profiles, but lineage tracing has traditionally focused on high-heteroplasmy variants,...

Human genetic studies have identified key regulators of fetal haemoglobin (HbF) expression, including BCL11A, resulting in therapeutic advances1-8. Yet the mechanisms by which HbF expression is activated remain incompletely understood9. Here we conduct a large multi-ancestry genome-wide association study of HbF levels...

During erythropoiesis, differentiating cells silence much of the genome while maintaining high expression of select genes. It remains unclear whether this transcriptional specialization is linked to specific changes in 3D genome organization. We generated deep Micro-C maps across human erythropoiesis and identified ery...
