Human DNA polymerase ε found to be a source of some of the most prevalent mutations in human cancers and genetic diseases
10 October 2024
The Kriaucionis, Schuster-Boeckler and Tomkova groups show that DNA polymerase ε makes errors when replicating methylated CpGs, producing C>T mutations at CpG dinucleotides.

Ludwig Oxford clinical trial shows Immunochemotherapy outcomes predicted by tumour monocyte content
11 July 2023
An analysis of samples obtained from a uniquely designed window-of-opportunity clinical trial (LUD2015-005) has shown that high tumour monocyte content (TMC) is an unexpected predictor of greater overall survival in inoperable oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC) patients.

Developing a system to simultaneously detect genetic and epigenetic information
2 March 2021
Dr Benjamin Schuster-Böckler wins funding to develop algorithms that can identify both genetic variation and DNA methylation from the same sequencing data, with applications in biomedical research and detection of diseases such as cancer.
New algorithm for single-cell RNA-seq analysis
22 March 2018
The sequencing of RNA from individual cells is an increasingly used, powerful method for studying cellular heterogeneity. However, the analysis of single-cell RNA-seq is limited due to the high technical variability between experiments and the inability to perform true technical replicates on the same cell. David Severson and colleagues from the labs of Benjamin Schuster-Böckler and Xin Lu have developed a new algorithm, BEARscc, published in Nature Communications, which uses simulation to improve the biological interpretation of single-cell RNA-seq experiments.
