Interested in spatial biology and cancer evolution?
New spatial genomics technologies start unraveling how somatic evolution, tissue microanatomy and tumour microenvironments interact.
New review with @Yates_lab @LomakinAI and @zaira_sef

From sequencing and evolutionary theory we know that tumours grow as mosaics of clones - but so far we haven’t been able to see them.
The labs of @Yates_lab, @MatsNilssonLab and @MoritzGerstung created a new method to map the spatial evolution of cancers: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Delighted to have our deep dive into understanding the #tumourmicroenvironment of high-risk chemotherapy resistant breast cancers published in @CCR_AACR today!!

What have we learned from analysing 200,000 SARS-CoV-2 genomes from genomic surveillance in England in the last 9 months?
These data provide important context for the current situation related to B.1.617.2.
Here’s a summary of the preprint. medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

1/ How do our bodies – with their incredible complexity - come from a single fertilised egg? How is it co-ordinated? What tissues come from what? Why (and how) might it go wrong? These are the questions we asked in our study out in @nature this week.

So proud of this new study. We developed naive and memory B and T single-cell expansion protocols and produced lymphocyte and blood stem cell genomes, from healthy individuals aged 0-81. I am still stunned at the biological insights revealed. [1/10]

Excited to share our latest work. We present NanoSeq, a new duplex sequencing method with <5 errors per billion sites in single DNA molecules. A leap in our ability to study mutation in any tissue. 1/ nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Alright, since folks are commenting on the Guardian article calling Bayes Theorem "obscure", here's a story about doctors, Bayes Theorem, log scales, and learning and listening from people even when they don't know the thing you know.

These snippets highlight the huge potential of spatial genomics and transcriptomics with BaSISS to study cancer evolution. This will enable us to measure, understand - and hopefully one day prevent - the key steps of malignant progression. 8/9

Proud to present the final chapter of the PCAWG Evolution and Heterogeneity Working Group after 7 years: detailed pan-cancer characterisation of intra-tumour heterogeneity! #PCAWG cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

Fantastic paper from the Gerstung lab applies histology based deep learning approach and not only identifies cancer type but also the underlying molecular aberrations.

Our study on normal and cirrhotic liver is also out in @nature. Fantastic work by @sfbrunner led by @Matt_Hoare20 and Peter Campbell @sangerinstitute
Normal liver parenchyma is composed of small clones, but this changes with damage and regeneration in cirrhosis

Great to work on this project with @Matt_Hoare20 @CRUK_CI and Peter Campbell, lead by @sfbrunner @sangerinstitute

When the #brain is hijacked by #cancer.
It isn't at all pretty as the @nature cover this week
3 reports, summarized well by a @NatureNV by Andres Barria nature.com/articles/d41586-0… and @heidiledford's @NatureNews nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

3 CT scans’ worth of radiation gives cancer-capable cells an advantage in ‘Game of Clones’ battle in healthy tissue. New research in mice helps understand the risks around low doses of radiation.
