Time‐lapse imaging of cell‐cycle phase transitions reveals that phase durations are uncoupled and can be modeled as an Erlang process. Phase coupling can be forced by perturbing a strong cell‐cycle regulator acting on multiple phases.

In a study published in the journal NPJ Breast Cancer, Charles M. Perou, PhD, Melissa Troester, PhD, graduate student Heather D. Couture and colleagues reported they used a form of artificial intelligence to train a computer to identify certain features of breast cancer tumors from images. UNC Lineberger’s Charles M....

Jeremy Purvis is an Assistant Professor of Genetics and Cancer Cell Biology. His work is focused on signal transduction in single human cells, specifically interested in why genetically identical cells choose different fates and how these decisions are influenced by the cellular environment. His lab uses a variety of experimental...

We conducted comprehensive integrative molecular analyses of the complete set of tumors in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), consisting of approximately 10,000 specimens and representing 33 types of cancer. We performed molecular clustering using data on chromosome-arm-level aneuploidy, DNA hypermethylation, mRNA, and miRNA expression levels and reverse-phase protein arrays, of...
