Duncan Odom

Odom was educated at the New College of Florida where he was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree in Chemistry in 1995. He continued his study at California Institute of Technology (Caltech) where he was awarded a PhD in chemistry for research on DNA-binding metallo-intercalators supervised by Jacqueline Barton.Duncan Odom {{ORCID|0000-0001-6201-5599}}{{cite thesis |degree=PhD |first=Duncan T.|last=Odom |title=The application of metallointercalators in recognition of and charge transport in nucleic acids |publisher=California Institute of Technology |date=2001|doi=10.7907/yz1f-w961 |oclc=874759941 |id={{ProQuest|251012080}}|url=http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechTHESIS:03212014-095851500|website=caltech.edu}}

Young, he established his research group at the University of Cambridge in 2006. His research investigates how transcription and transcriptional regulation vary during evolution, and its implications for diseases such as cancer, using high throughput biology methods to investigate genome evolution.{{cite web|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170207043900/http://www.cruk.cam.ac.uk/research-groups/odom-group|archive-date=2017-02-07|url=http://www.cruk.cam.ac.uk/research-groups/odom-group|website=cruk.cam.ac.uk|title=Odom group: Transcription Regulation Laboratory|first=Duncan|last=Odom|year=2017|url-status=dead}}{{cite journal|last1=Villar|first1=Diego|last2=Berthelot|first2=Camille|last3=Aldridge|first3=Sarah|last4=Rayner|first4=Tim F.|last5=Lukk|first5=Margus|last6=Pignatelli|first6=Miguel|last7=Park|first7=Thomas J.|last8=Deaville|first8=Robert|last9=Erichsen|first9=Jonathan T.|last10=Jasinska|first10=Anna J.|last11=Turner|first11=James M.A.|last12=Bertelsen|first12=Mads F.|last13=Murchison|first13=Elizabeth P.|last14=Flicek|first14=Paul|last15=Odom|first15=Duncan T.|title=Enhancer Evolution across 20 Mammalian Species|journal=Cell|volume=160|issue=3|year=2015|pages=554–566|issn=0092-8674|doi=10.1016/j.cell.2015.01.006|pmid=25635462|pmc=4313353}}{{cite journal|last1=Stefflova|first1=Klara|last2=Thybert|first2=David|last3=Wilson|first3=Michael D.|last4=Streeter|first4=Ian|last5=Aleksic|first5=Jelena|last6=Karagianni|first6=Panagiota|last7=Brazma|first7=Alvis|last8=Adams|first8=David J.|last9=Talianidis|first9=Iannis|last10=Marioni|first10=John C.|last11=Flicek|first11=Paul|last12=Odom|first12=Duncan T.|title=Cooperativity and Rapid Evolution of Cobound Transcription Factors in Closely Related Mammals|pmid= 23911320|pmc=3732390 |journal=Cell|volume=154|issue=3|year=2013|pages=530–540|issn=0092-8674|doi=10.1016/j.cell.2013.07.007}} {{open access}}{{cite journal|last1=Ernst|first1=Christina|last2=Pike|first2=Jeremy|last3=Aitken|first3=Sarah J|last4=Long|first4=Hannah K|last5=Eling|first5=Nils|last6=Stojic|first6=Lovorka|last7=Ward|first7=Michelle C|last8=Connor|first8=Frances|last9=Rayner|first9=Timothy F|last10=Lukk|first10=Margus|last11=Klose|first11=Robert J|last12=Kutter|first12=Claudia|last13=Odom|first13=Duncan T|title=Successful transmission and transcriptional deployment of a human chromosome via mouse male meiosis|journal=eLife|volume=5|year=2016|issn=2050-084X|doi=10.7554/eLife.20235|pmid=27855777|pmc=5161449 |doi-access=free }} {{open access}} {{As of|2017}}, according to Google Scholar his most highly-cited papers have been published in Cell,{{cite journal |last1=Lee |first1=Tong Ihn |last2=Jenner |first2=Richard G. |last3=Boyer |first3=Laurie A. |author-link3=Laurie Boyer |last4=Guenther |first4=Matthew G. |last5=Levine |first5=Stuart S. |last6=Kumar |first6=Roshan M. |last7=Chevalier |first7=Brett |last8=Johnstone |first8=Sarah E. |last9=Cole |first9=Megan F. |last10=Isono |first10=Kyo-ichi |last11=Koseki |first11=Haruhiko |year=2006 |title=Control of Developmental Regulators by Polycomb in Human Embryonic Stem Cells |journal=Cell |volume=125 |issue=2 |pages=301–313 |doi=10.1016/j.cell.2006.02.043 |issn=0092-8674 |pmc=3773330 |pmid=16630818 |last12=Fuchikami |first12=Takuya |last13=Abe |first13=Kuniya |last14=Murray |first14=Heather L. |last15=Zucker |first15=Jacob P. |last16=Yuan |first16=Bingbing |last17=Bell |first17=George W. |last18=Herbolsheimer |first18=Elizabeth |last19=Hannett |first19=Nancy M. |last20=Sun |first20=Kaiming |last21=Odom |first21=Duncan T. |last22=Otte |first22=Arie P. |last23=Volkert |first23=Thomas L. |last24=Bartel |first24=David P. |last25=Melton |first25=Douglas A. |last26=Gifford |first26=David K. |last27=Jaenisch |first27=Rudolf |last28=Young |first28=Richard A. |authorlink28=Richard A.
