More distraction: new #preprint we posted a little while ago biorxiv.org/content/10.110… looks at somatic copy number #evolution in #colorectal #cancer . Suggests a #CNA bottleneck adenoma->cancer, & thereafter CNAs experience #stabilising #selection , remarkably even in mets & chemo.
I'm co-organizing Cancer Evolution: From Genome to Ecology, 8–10 May 2024, Wellcome Genome Campus, UK.
Listen to great speakers, including Nuria Lopez-Bigas, Raheleh Rahbari, Trevor Graham, Jose Tubio’s lab - Mobile Genomes and James DeGregori.
Abstract deadline: 12 March 2024.

Thanks Arda Durmaz and Valeria Visconte! This is a great highlighting of our work. This was a fun project with a few surprises. There is much more to come soon on the evolutionary dynamics variant allele frequencies in healthy tissues.
We are looking for two enthusisastic scientists to join our work on the evolution of ecDNAs in human cancers. Become part of the great Cancer Grand Challenges and join our team eDyNAmiC family.
Happy to chat any time. Please contact me and ask for details!

At the department for Theoretical Biology MPI for Evolutionary Biology is looking for a PostDoc in Cancer Evolution mpg.de/21167917/postd… Please share!
Our latest paper: measurement of cancer evolutionary dynamics at massive scale, using just a methylation array on bulk DNA. Find evolutionary dynamics strongly determine clinical outcomes in lymphoid cancers. Fab collab with Inaki Martin & Martí Duran-Ferrer, & led by Calum Gabbutt. A🧵⬇️
Very happy to have our newest work available on bioRxiv .
Excited about this, as we combine ideas of somatic and species evolution.
Truly interdisciplinary joined work by Thorsten_Reusch LEi Yu Jessie Renton , Iliana Baums.
