Thrilled to see #SAVANA out in @naturemethods🥳 SAVANA detects haplotype-resolved somatic SVs and copy number aberrations (SCNAs) and infers tumour purity & ploidy in clinical samples using long-read sequencing with or WITHOUT a matched germline control 👇nature.com/articles/s41592-0…

Interested in the mysteries surrounding metastasis evolution?
This perspective in @NatureRevCancer is my best attempt at proposing a framework that could help advance our thinking about the topic.
Well. At least it helped advance my own thinking. 😅

I'm proud to share that our article has been published in @NatureComms Our findings reveal fascinating patterns, explained by a theoretical model proposed over 100 years ago by the legendary J.B.S. #Haldane ⭐️ #Hybridization #Adaptation #Evolution

Hybrids have complex genomes that influence their adaptive potential. Bautista et al. show that yeast hybrids adapt slower than their parental species, primarily due to a reduced rate of loss of heterozygosity in key genes

High grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is an exemplar tumour type for studying chromosomal instability. I'm delighted finally to share with you our efforts to disentangle the chaos from the underlying biology... biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/

New preprint out by @StelkensLab on the 'dynamics of adaptation to stress' using E&R. Beautiful work by PhD student @CiaranGilchrist and postdoc @LoreAment & other lab members. So excited since this has been in the making for 5 years! So much for yeast is a fast system. 😉

The Stelkens Lab is looking for a #postdoc in #yeast evolution and genomics! Start date asap. 2-year period with possible extension. Project is flexible but should involve experimental evolution, #Saccharomyces, and fundamental questions in evolutionary biology. Come join us!
