Identification of the tumour transition states occurring during EMT

I Pastushenko, A Brisebarre, A Sifrim, M Fioramonti… - Nature, 2018 - nature.com
In cancer, the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is associated with tumour stemness,
metastasis and resistance to therapy. It has recently been proposed that, rather than being …

Distinct genetic architectures for syndromic and nonsyndromic congenital heart defects identified by exome sequencing

A Sifrim, MP Hitz, A Wilsdon, J Breckpot, SHA Turki… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
Congenital heart defects (CHDs) have a neonatal incidence of 0.8–1% (refs. 1 , 2 ). Despite
abundant examples of monogenic CHD in humans and mice, CHD has a low absolute …

[HTML][HTML] Unraveling genomic variation from next generation sequencing data

GA Pavlopoulos, A Oulas, E Iacucci, A Sifrim, Y Moreau… - BioData mining, 2013 - Springer
Elucidating the content of a DNA sequence is critical to deeper understand and decode the
