Impact of BRCA mutations, age, surgical indication, and hormone status on the molecular phenotype of the human Fallopian tube - Nature Communications The human Fallopian tube (FT) is implicated as a site of origin for pelvic serous cancers. Here the authors conduct multi-omics analysis on over 100 FTs. The results challenge the assumption that BRCA...

Surprising findings of BRCA mutations on the Fallopian tubes. Result of a tremendous team effort with @shenhui1986.bsky.social @vainstitute.bsky.social, Chuck Drescher @fredhutch.bsky.social, and Jarrod Marto @danafarber.bsky.social.

Low-coverage whole genome sequencing of low-grade dysplasia strongly predicts advanced neoplasia risk in ulcerative colitis Background The risk of developing advanced neoplasia (AN; colorectal cancer and/or high-grade dysplasia) in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients with a low-grade dysplasia (LGD) lesion is variable and dif...

Delighted our work using aneuploidy as a biomarker of colorectal cancer risk in inflammatory bowel disease is out: gut.bmj.com/content/earl...

The initial reaction from patients&families has been overwhelming

Genetic background sets the trajectory of cancer evolution Human cancers are heterogeneous. Their genomes evolve from genetically diverse germlines in complex and dynamic environments, including exposure to potential carcinogens. This heterogeneity of humans,...

We have an open #PhD #studentship as part of our "Black Leaders in Cancer" programme at @crukconvergence.bsky.social & @icrlondon.bsky.social. About computational modelling of T-cell evolution in cancer. www.findaphd.com/phds/project... I'm looking forward to meeting prospective students #CRUKfunded

Well done Dr Jan! A PhD student with @mstaylor.bsky.social who passed his viva yesterday. We’ll miss having the indel expert in the building!

Normal breast tissues harbour rare populations of aneuploid epithelial cells - Nature Using single-cell DNA sequencing we show that most healthy women harbour rare populations of aneuploid epithelial cells with copy number alteration events in their breast tissue that expand and accumu...

Coordinated inheritance of extrachromosomal DNAs in cancer cells - Nature Cooperative species of extrachromosomal DNAs are coordinately inherited through mitotic co-segregation.

Cancer cells often harbor oncogenes outside chromosomes on extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA), which is unevenly inherited by dividing cells. We reported in Nature last week that collectives of ecDNAs are inherited together by dividing cancer cells. 1/

We are happy to announce the release of a new #nf-core workflow -- #oncoanalyser performs an exhaustive analysis of single-patient cancer sequencing data using methods developed by the Hartwig Medical Foundation Australia. (1/5)

Tune in today at 2pm UK time for an online seminar explaining why our lab cares about Chromosomal Instability in cancer - as part of a wonderful lecture series on CIN
