State-dependent evolutionary models reveal modes of solid tumour growth, now published! nature.com/articles/s41559-0… Accompanying News & Views: nature.com/articles/s41559-0… Huge congrats to lead author @MayaLewinsohn! Check out her pre-print thread for key takeaways!
Excited to share the first preprint of my PhD with @trvrb, @nicfelm, and @AlisonFeder! We detect boundary-driven growth by analyzing patterns in tumor trees. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/13

Join us! The Machado Lab at @Cambridge_Uni is looking for an enthusiastic RA to be a core member of the team and lead the lab's data generation efforts, seeking to understand how tumour and immune cells co-evolve and contribute to cancer progression. jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/47922/

Beyond thrilled to announce that I will be starting my research group at Genome Sciences at the University of Washington @UW next spring💫💫My dream place to do genetics & genomics, and such an exciting timing with a lot of new technologies and large-scale datasets emerging! (1/)

If you're still building your must-visit agenda for the poster session today at #SMBE2024, don't miss Iris Jia's (@tongqiujia) poster at position 44 showing her spatial dissection of lung bacterial persistence through a novel therapy!

Thanks for this nice summary, @sociovirology! Was really fun to get to share awesome work led by @epidememeology, and in collab with @evokerr!
To round off the day, @AlisonFeder talking about dominant drug targeting in poliovirus infection #SocialViruses

#TeamMassSpec We're recruiting postdocs to work on new methods to map proteome remodeling due to chemical perturbations, aging, development, and more! If you're interested, see the job posting: ap.washington.edu/ahr/positi… and some of the lab's projects: schweppelab.org/projects

Really excited to work with @oligopain and @Keribackus on this super exciting project! We are so thankful to the WM Keck Foundation for supporting this high risk, high reward idea!
Brian Beliveau and Devin Schweppe have received a WM Keck grant. This collaboration between the University of Washington and UCLA, will establish an entirely new approach to enable robust, scalable, and easily accessible methods for single-cell proteomics.

A new paper published in @MolBioEvol shows that "#HIV populations in people with higher viral loads also have higher rates of viral recombination" which "enables the exchange of genetic information across strains of the virus & drives HIV’s evolution." newswise.com/articles/increa…

Excited to share the published version of this in @MolBioEvol! Elena Romero developed an approach to quantify recombination from longitudinal short read sequencing, and applied it to measure differences in recomb rate in HIV pops with low and high VL. academic.oup.com/mbe/article…
Rapid recombination is an important driver of HIV intra-host evolution. Because recombination requires that multiple viruses co-infect a cell, Elena Romero and I wondered if high viral loads increase HIV's recombination rate. tl;dr: we think they do! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Much gratitude to the editor and 3 reviewers for their helpful suggestions. Published version has expanded suite of validation on simulated data and application to additional in vivo data. Also very cool to be in the MBE 40th anniversary issue! academic.oup.com/mbe/issue/4…

Measles is normally acute & self-limiting, but in rare cases it can enter the CNS and cause fatal encephalitis (SSPE). In a collab with the Cattaneo lab & led by Iris Yousaf (@VIris__) and Will Hannon, we reconstructed the genetic events accompanying MeV brain colonization. 1/
So excited to share my first author publication! 😁 In this unprecedented work, we recreated the history of measles virus evolution in human brain in collaboration with @AlisonFeder and Will Hannon 😊 dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.…

We also present our best guess of the chronology of how MeV comes to take over the brain. 13/
