Excited to share our latest study published in Nucleic Acids Research: academic.oup.com/nar/article/53… It’s the cover story for Issue #12! We drew inspiration from Greek mythology to illustrate CTCF’s constant struggle in shaping the 3D genome architecture.

Very happy to contribute to this paper about cfDNA in SCLC, led by the team of Anish Thomas. It's already online in Genome Medicine: Takahashi et al., Genomic alterations and transcriptional phenotypes in circulating free DNA and matched metastatic tumor genomemedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Early detection of #PancreaticCancer saves lives. @TeifLab @EssexLifeSci are using cutting-edge technology to measure fragments of tumour DNA in the blood. This "liquid biopsy" could provide an accurate & affordable new test for pancreatic cancer: bit.ly/3F3vXF1

Happy New Year! 2024 was not easy, but despite many challenges we also achieved a lot. We've got grants, published papers, have new exciting findings. This would not be possible without support of friends and collaborators. Wishing you health, happiness, peace & success in 2025!

Thank you very much @PancreaticCanUK for supporting our research! In collaboration with Andrea Mohr, Ralf Zwacka and Greg Brooke, we are developing a new generation of liquid biopsies for early cancer detection based on the analysis of cell-free DNA 🧬

Interesting preprint on nucleosome spacing from cfDNA [Johnston et al., 2024] biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. The authors refer to NRL changes 10n -> 10n-5 bp. Earlier we showed that NRL decrease in cancer is more complex & context-specific [Jacob et al., 2024] link.springer.com/article/10.118…

some statistics about mass migration of scientists, specifically for our field: ▶️~30% of our followers created accounts on bluesky (most of them stay on both platforms) ▶️~0.8% of our followers deleted accounts on X ▶️likely there will be sizable fractions on both platforms

Dear friends, please reply if you know a neurosurgeon in Romania (or close contacts among medical doctors in Romania who may connect with neurosurgeons). This is for a medical emergency, not for academic research.

This idea is very interesting, but did anyone try to check such hypotheses (re: HP1a) with nucleosome maps? More generally, looking for publications where NRL changes are shown for local regions enriched with certain proteins (excluding studies regarding gene bodies & TF binding)
