Single-Cell Genomics and its Impact on Understanding Cellular Heterogeneity
Abstract: Single-cell genomics has transformed how we study the differences between individual cells, helping scientists uncover the detailed variety within tissues that traditional methods could not reveal. Traditional methods, such as RNA sequencing, average gene expression across many cells, thereby missing subtle yet important cellular variations. Single-cell technologies, such as single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), DNA sequencing, and epigenomics, allow researchers to study individual cells in extraordinary detail like never before. This …

STRUCTURAL–EPIGENOMIC ATLAS: CNV/SV- DRIVEN PROGNOSTIC REFINEMENT ACROSS CANCERS
Abstract: Structural genomic alterations, including copy number variations (CNVs) and structural variants (SVs), play a central role in cancer initiation and progression. These alterations extend beyond gene dosage effects and interact dynamically with epigenomic mechanisms such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, and three-dimensional chromatin organization. Recent pan-cancer studies have demonstrated that CNV burden and SV signatures reflect key oncogenic processes including chromothripsis, homologous recombination deficiency, enhancer hijacking, and extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) …

The Parasitic Fingerprint: Tracing Infection to Host Illness
Abstract: Parasitic infections remain a major global health burden, causing significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. A critical aspect of disease pathogenesis is the unique molecular and cellular imprint left by parasites in their hosts, termed the “parasitic fingerprint.” These fingerprints encompass parasite-derived proteins, nucleic acids, metabolites, extracellular vesicles, and host responses, including gene expression changes, cytokine profiles, and metabolic adaptations. Advances in multi-omics technologies, which integrate …

REVIEW OF PHARMACOEPIGENETICS: BRIDGING EPIGENETICS AND PERSONALIZED MEDICINE
Abstract: Pharmacoepigenetics is an emerging field that explores how alterations in gene expression, independent of DNA sequence changes, influence individual responses to drugs. Unlike pharmacogenetics, which focuses primarily on genetic variation, pharmacoepigenetics integrates genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors to explain interindividual differences in drug efficacy, toxicity, and resistance. Key epigenetic mechanisms including DNA methylation, histone modifications, non-coding RNAs, and RNA methylation play critical roles in regulating drug metabolism and therapeutic outcomes. …

Pharmacoepigenomics of Replication Timing: How Anti- Cancer Drugs Reshape Chromatin Domains and Mutational Landscapes.
Abstract: DNA replication timing serves as a fundamental epigenetic feature that organizes genome function during the cell cycle (3), while anti-cancer drugs profoundly alter this process to disrupt tumor growth(4). These agents target chromatin architecture, shifting replication domains and reshaping mutational patterns critical for cancer evolution (1,5). DNA replication timing (RT) domains serve as dynamic epigenetic organizers, partitioning the genome into early- and late-replicating regions that correlate with chromatin states, gene …
