  Pink Ribbon Funding

  The Kuijjer group has received funding from Pink Ribbon / the Norwegian Cancer Society to develop computational tools that integrate large-scale genome-wide regulatory networks with other `omics and clinical data, to help the discovery of new breast cancer subtypes and potential targets for personalized treatment of breast cancer. We are extremely excited to start this project in 2021. We will be collaborating with Vessela Kristensen's group at Oslo...

  New publication

  We have a new publication in Cell Reports. We modeled 8,279 individual sample gene regulatory networks representing 29 tissues using PANDA and LIONESS. Using network analysis, we found that gene regulatory processes vary by sex across tissues and that many transcription factors have sex-biased targeting patterns. Differential gene expression between sexes is relatively modest on the non-sex chromosomes, generally occurring in tissues and pathways already known for...
