BACErs came together again in July 2020 to enjoy a virtual coffee, with a good mix of known faces and BACE newcomers (welcome again!).
The discussion was lively and we shared a number of useful links and resources. Below you can find the references to those.
Aging
The topic of epigenomics and aging continues to spark our imagination. Inspired by the last BACE event on Epigenomics of Aging, we exchanged a few articles people found interesting:
Reversing age: dual species measurement of epigenetic age with a single clock
Ageing hallmarks exhibit organ-specific temporal signatures
Fasting Imparts a Switch to Alternative Daily Pathways in Liver and Muscle
Epigenetics and the circadian clock
One of our attendees shared with us the exciting research her lab does in epigenetics of circadian rythms:
Snord116-dependent diurnal rhythm of DNA methylation in mouse cortex
The podcasts we love
We shared a number of podcasts and talks we found useful and informative:
Mina Bissell: Experiments that point to a new understanding of cancer
Epigenetics in the news
We shared news that caught our attention in the past couple of months, that included:
Foghorn Therapeutics Inks Chromatin-Targeting Cancer Deal with Merck
Stanford Team Debuts EPIC-Seq Method to Detect, Classify Cancer From cfDNA Fragment Patterns
That’s all this time! To join the next Chromatin Coffee or another BACE event, you can join us on Meetup: https://www.meetup.com/Bay-Area-Chromatin-and-Epigenomics-Meetup-Group/. See you there!
