BC Cancer Agency lymphoma discovery
Researchers at the BC Cancer Agency have identified a never before seen mutation (or DNA spelling mistake) in the EZH2 gene, in the two most common types of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. No other types of lymphoma or other cancers have been found to contain this particular mutation. |

Widespread News coverage of Breast Cancer discovery published in Nature.
Marco Marra, director of the Michael Smith Genome Sciences Centre, was interviewed on CBC, Global TV and CTV. Additionally, many newspapers around the world reported this major advance in cancer research. The study published in Nature was funded by the BC Cancer Foundation; Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, BC/Yukon region; Canadian Institutes for Health Research; Genome Canada; Genome BC; the Canada Foundation for Innovation; the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research; and the National Cancer Institute, USA. |

Non-linear Electrophoretic Response Yields a New Parameter for Separation of Biomolecules
This paper was just accepted for publication in PNAS. It describes a novel and highly efficient electophoresis method for isolation and purification of DNA. The proof of principle application described in the paper was the isolation of DNA from a drilling core from the Athabasca oil sands, which was subsequently subjected to metagenomic sequencing and analysis here at the GSC. |
