Check out this work out now in @eLife in collaboration with @wendy_bickmore lab https://t.co/EkbjFT60Q7 - Oncogene expression from extrachromosomal DNA is driven by copy number amplification and does not require spatial clustering in glioblastoma stem cells 👇👇👇

[Karin Purshouse @KarinPurshouse]

Do extrachromosomal DNA (#ecDNA) cluster closely with each other to drive amplified transcription of their resident oncogenes in #glioblastoma (GBM) stem cells?

We have explored this in our paper out in @eLife now 1/10 https://t.co/sJf0S9I6Vh

[Wendy Bickmore @wendy_bickmore]

Our paper showing that ecDNAs in glioblastoma do not cluster and don't appear to have special transcriptional properties is out in @eLife. Great collaboration with @lab_pollard led by @KarinPurshouse @EcatTrack @mrc_hgu @EdinUni_IGC @CRUKScotland

Congratulations @williamsc91, postdoc in @lab_pollard!

[StemCell Summer School @HydraSchool]

Big congratulations to Pranay Shah, winner of the coveted Paolo Bianco #HydraXV Poster Prize

Congratulations also to the two runners up, Charles Williams and Kata Krizic.

Here they are being awarded their magnificent certificates by Austin Smith

[EdinburghEpigenetics @EdinEpigenetics]

A great line-up of speakers at next week's 18th meeting of the Edinburgh Chromatin, Epigenetics and Transcriptional Regulation Network

[Pollard Lab @lab_pollard]

Great to see @williamsc91 present his work as part of the #FutureLeaders session, and others sharing their work during the conference @KarinPurshouse, Xinying Yeo, Erika Lo, @AlhafidzHamdan

[Pollard Lab @lab_pollard]

We had a great few days @CRUKresearch #CRUKbrain2022 last week sharing ideas and hearing of innovations from our global #braintumour community. Thanks for having us, @CRUKresearch - let the work continue! #glioblastoma #cancerresearch

New preprint from the lab!👇👇👇 - Elevated FOXG1 supports exit from quiescence in neural stem cells through FoxO6
Great work from @KirstyMFerguson and the team.

Very happy to share our recent publication from postdoc
@MariaAn44408423 - featured in the Editors' 'Stem Cells' highlights in @NatureComms . Lrig1 acts as a gatekeeper for #quiescence exit in adult neural stem cells. Thank you to all collaborators!
