Mutations in a gene called FOXA1 are responsible for a distinct class of prostate cancer tumors, MSK researchers have found. @nature @CharlesSawyers https://t.co/mUH3MREQpn

RT and help congratulate the @pewtrusts 2019 scholars & fellows!

We’re proud to announce that our own John Maciejowski and Piro Lito are part of this distinguished program dedicated to advancing human health through cutting-edge research.

30,000 tumor genomic profiles generated by MSK-IMPACT and reported to patients to guide their treatment @sloan_kettering ... and counting! A major milestone for @MSKPathology, @OncoKB, and the entire team. #MSKimpact @MLadanyi @DSolit @ahmetz @Cycle4Survival

[Daniel Bronder @danielkbronder]

This is absolutely awesome!

Hey folks - I got news that might seem not surprising to many of you. But @toddgolub1 @gaddyg & @meyersonlab just established it beyond reasonable doubt.
Your MCF7 looks genetically nothing like & behaves totally differently in HTS studies from my MCF7.

Today's brawl in Nature over whether editing human embryos with CRISPR really happened or not. https://t.co/ZjN8a7RXbf

Large scale genetic interactions in human with double CRISPRi (472×472 genes x2 cell lines). Besides basic biology findings this has useful applications for design of drug targets in cancer (second hit for LoF) https://t.co/r6fLeNcHx3

New Review from Kester and van Oudenaarden "Single-Cell Transcriptomics Meets Lineage Tracing" covers lineage trajectory prediction algorithms, single-cell genetic lineage tracing, and the combination of these techniques in #stemcell and cancer research. https://t.co/r9rKaWRmie

[Steve Pettitt @stveep]

Our latest results from @IcrLordLab - a series of CRISPR screens to investigate PARP inhibitor resistance. We used some tricks to enrich for in-frame mutations - more interesting than knockouts! Suprisingly, some BRCA1 mutant lines can tolerate PARP1 loss. https://t.co/jEZqHYMnA6

Epic paper from Halazonetis lab in @Nature: Intragenic origins due to short G1 phases underlie oncogene-induced DNA replication stress https://t.co/Lg0z4NzclG

[HHMI @hhmi_science]

From @eLife and authored by HHMI Investigator Charles Sawyers and colleagues, an important message about the validation of therapeutic targets in cancer. https://t.co/iWH0cVAx35
