Excited to share our latest work. We introduce an improved version of NanoSeq, a duplex sequencing protocol with <5 errors per billion bp in single DNA molecules, and use it to study the somatic mutation landscape of oral epithelium in >1000 people. 1/n https://t.co/KBjrDfrxlj

Very excited to see our study on a case of ALL to AML switch after CAR-T treatment out in @NatureCancer! Using deep genome sequencing, we show the cancer switched cell types to escape therapy.

June really appears to be my lucky month - our new preprint is out on @researchsquare! 😍 Together with @doctor_msc, @andrewrjlawson and many others we looked into the life history of mitochondria in the human haematopoietic system https://t.co/7qjyALrJ65. [1/x]

@AndyRusss Awesome work Andy!

Amazing to be at #EACR2022 in person! Beautiful city & exciting science ahead. Very happy to represent the @imartincorena and Campbell groups @sangerinstitute together with super⭐️ @_Luke_MRH_. If you are around, would be fantastic to see you join for our talks on Wednesday 🥰

[Luke Harvey @_Luke_MRH_]

Amazing work by Alex and Adrian asking fundamental questions about somatic mutations and ageing. A privilege to have a played a small part in this great story.

[Alex Cagan @ATJCagan]

Incredibly excited to share our paper ‘Somatic mutation rates scale with lifespan across mammals’ now published @nature.

Delighted to share our latest work in its final form (and open access!). Here, we studied the rate at which somatic mutations accumulate in different species to address some long-standing hypotheses. 🧵… 1/

Out today @Nature! Human tissues accumulate cancer-driver mutations with age, yet tumor formation remains rare, why!? We show that mutant clones in the normal epithelium can have a tumor-protective role by outcompeting and eliminating nascent tumors. https://t.co/GfBaLNHvBq

How does a single cell generate different organs and tissues of the human body? Do early cells contribute equally? Do embryonic patterns differ between people? Sequencing normal cells reveals the developmental stories hidden in their DNA @NaturePortfolio https://t.co/oAZw1SMMea

[Alex Cagan @ATJCagan]

Thrilled to share our paper on the mutational landscape of human somatic and germline cells @Nature. We integrated histology and genomics to explore the genetic diversity that develops within our bodies as we age.

I am incredibly excited to share our preprint ‘Somatic mutation rates scale with lifespan across mammals’In this paper we provide an unprecedented description of somatic mutation across mammals.

#GenomicsLite is back this week, look at how cancer is researched in the lab - from tumour to treatment.

We'll be joined by @PJaaks and @_Luke_MRH_ from @sangerinstitute.

A tour de force of insights into immune cell development by @heatherEmachado

[Heather Machado @heatherEmachado]

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]
