Severe droughts are becoming hotter, longer, and increasingly devastating to ecosystems as climate change accelerates, according to a new Science study, which reports that temperate grasslands, including in parts of the U.S., are facing the worst effects. https://t.co/3abZNkKD1x
"Si els joves no adquireixen coneixements bàsics sobre com funcionen la Terra i els organismes que hi habiten, mai no podran valorar-los prou, ni entendre la importància de preservar-los.
Sense nocions adequades de física i química, tampoc no comprendran la necessitat...
amazing study on the evolution of slow-growing brain tumors, which turn aggressive after decades of existence
immunotherapy might work to prevent them from becoming deadly
such work prioritizing long term actions (while tumors are still contained) is essential for curing cancer
🗣 Divendres, les terceres del Col·legi La Bressola - Pompeu Fabra van rebre la visita de la doctora Laia Bassaganyas, investigadora de l'Institut de Genòmica Funcional de Montpeller.
Moltes gràcies per la visita!

Thrilled to share our discovery of novel long-deletion #signatures—powerful markers for tracking #MMRd#CancerEvolution, even in low-pass (~0.1X) FFPE samples with low tumour content, using our tool #MILO. Check out our preprint for the full story https://t.co/IYOpPbqVsU (1/8)
Our Review on “Aneuploidy as a driver of human cancer” is out in Nature Genetics. Check it out! 🎉
The Ben-David lab wishes everyone Shana Tova — may the new year be much better than the ending one, bringing peace and stability to all! 🙏

🔬Avenç important en el tractament del #càncer d'origen desconegut.
L'estudi #ICO i @idibell_cat demostra que l'ús de la teràpia personalitzada a través del l'anàlisi de perfil genòmic pot millorar la supervivència dels #pacients afectats d'aquests tumors.

Introducing iSCORED, a real-time, nanopore-based tool with the potential to detect brain tumours intraoperatively. With 100% concordance in CNV detection and methylation profiling, in the future this rapid method could provide actionable insights in under 2 hours. #nanoporeconf
The idea that we would be doing intra-operative genomics to help the classification of tumours doing surgery feels like science fiction - but it's real. Numerous groups now doing this across the world, and it will be interesting to see the impact on interventions.
Rapidly identifying copy number variations (CNV) in some cancers is vital for treatment & potential therapies.
At #nanoporeconf, Chun-Chieh Lin will share their team’s rapid workflow for efficient and unbiased CNV quantification, during surgery.

I wrote an #Rstats pkg that pulls recent bioRxiv preprints from subjects of your choosing, summarizes them using a local LLM, and writes out an HTML report with titles, links, summaries.

Thrilled that #SAVANA is out🥳 https://t.co/wnKrasrpAk, our method to analyse somatic SVs, allele-specific copy number aberrations (SCNAs), tumour purity & ploidy in clinical samples using #long-read sequencing @nanopore@PacBio! 😮 Comparisons of long/short reads & algorithms👇
Published today! We found that cancer cells adapting to drug treatments don't simply switch from a sensitive to resistant state; instead there's a ‘resistance continuum’ of resistant phenotypes with epigenetically reprogrammed states. 🧵⬇️
