More than half of our DNA comes from ancient viruses.

Peter Mac research has uncovered new insights into how cells keep these viral sequences silent, revealing potential new ways to harness the body's own antiviral response against cancer.

Cofactors are a crucial part of the gene activation process. Yet, we still don't have a comprehensive understanding of how and why they are used by different genes. Proud to present our attempt to address this key question, now published

Our latest paper from ⁦@TheDawsonLab⁩ - huge congratulations to ⁦@HenriettaHolze⁩ & ⁦@DaneVass⁩ who led this work - hope the lineage tracing / barcoding community find this helpful https://t.co/bkwVZGnxb0

[Vicky Tan @vicky__tan]

Excited to share my PhD story, out in @Dev_Cell today: https://t.co/2yyyL0mHH9! We show that Nrf2-driven induction of the pentose phosphate pathway stimulates liver regeneration after injury. Thanks to @DrAndrewCox, @MAF_Dawson, Cox Lab and @TheDawsonLab members! Incoming 🧵1/9

[Peter Mac Research @PeterMacRes]

Nice work @JantonKay on picking up the #ASH2023 abstract achievement award for an outstanding abstract. @TheDawsonLab @PeterMacCC 🏆🏆👏

[Henrietta Holze @HenriettaHolze]

If you work with synthetic barcodes for lineage tracing, please check out our new preprint! We developed a highly flexible Nextflow pipeline and R package for barcode extraction, QC, analysis and visualization. Very grateful to be part of this team effort @DaneVass @TheDawsonLab

[Mark Dawson @MAF_Dawson]

Here it is!
If you love cellular barcoding then you will likely love this and hopefully use this - really wonderful work from @DaneVass @HenriettaHolze and others from @TheDawsonLab - check out the tweetorial 👇

[Dane Vassiliadis @DaneVass]

🔥 New preprint alert!!! 🔥 In this manuscript we describe a new integrated suite of software tools for the analysis of synthetic cellular barcodes from genomic and single-cell transcriptomic datasets. 🧵 below. 1/ https://t.co/EHGxt6iccm
