Excited to share our latest work. Applying advanced single-molecule and single-cell DNA sequencing methods, we uncover an extraordinary landscape of somatic mutations in immune checkpoint genes in autoimmune lymphocytes. [1/n] rdcu.be/fdqbr

I am pleased to share our work on Cavendish bananas, a clonally propagated crop. Using somatic mutations from >100 bananas collected worldwide, we reconstructed their global dissemination history and genetic microevolution under large-scale cultivation. researchsquare.com/article/r…

1/n Have you ever wondered whether an amplified oncogene in a patient’s tumor (HER2/EGFR/CCND1/…) is carried on extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) vs embedded within a chromosome? Bulk WGS + genome graph can hint, but in practice it’s often hard to resolve. Here is our new preprint.

Super excited to introduce QUICHE (Quantitative InterCellular Niche Enrichment) - a statistical method that can be used to discover local cellular niches differentially enriched in spatial regions, longitudinal samples, or clinical patient groups :) (1/10) biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Peter Campbell leaves the Sanger Institute at the end of the year to become Quotient's CSO. A mentor and one of my favourite scientists. His foundational, profound and creative contributions to cancer genomics and somatic evolution have truly shaped those fields. [1/7]
Academic co-founder, Peter Campbell, Ph.D., is joining the Quotient team as CSO. We look forward to advancing the first ever #SomaticGenomics platform under his leadership. Read more: bit.ly/3YBCkqS

Beyond excited to see this paper out. Most satisfying paper reproducing lung adeno to small-cell transformation in experimental model. Key players: EGFR, TP53, RB1, PIK3CA/PTEN, and MYC. Huge congratulations to Eric Gardner, @LaughneyLab, and the team! science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Our latest paper: measurement of cancer evolutionary dynamics at massive scale, using just a methylation array on bulk DNA. Find evolutionary dynamics strongly determine clinical outcomes in lymphoid cancers. Fab collab with Inaki Martin & @Marti_DF, & led by @CalumGabbutt. A🧵⬇️
Does the evolutionary history of a cancer predict outcome? In our pre-print, we introduce a new method to measure a cancer’s past using bulk methylation data. In chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), these inferred histories are highly prognostic! (1/9) doi.org/10.1101/2023.11.10.2…
