Very excited to share our latest preprint on somatic mutations in the normal stomach. We found many surprises, incl. hypermutant glands, recurrent somatic trisomies and a unique landscape of driver mutations. Thread below! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Hey #TAGC24 - I’m giving a talk tomorrow (Sat Mar 9) at 9:45a in the Comparative Genomics session in Maryland A! Swing by to hear about some new work w Aaron Quinlan on how mutation rates at short tandem repeats evolve 🧬🔁😎

I’m bummed to be missing #TAGC24 but proud that Candice is doing such a great job representing the lab!!

I’m presenting a poster (937S) on #mutation rate and spectrum variation and evolution in Sacchromyces on Sat 9-10 pm. I will also be moderating a TAGC networking session on first generation experiences in science on Sat 6:30- 7:30 pm. #TAGC24

Our paper 'Interpreting GANs to infer natural selection from genetic data' is out in Genetics! Thank you Peter Ralph as editor. academic.oup.com/genetics/advan… I will be talking about this work at #TAGC24 tomorrow (Friday) at 2pm. 'Methodological Advances in Population Genomics' session.

My first first-author preprint together with Lydia Liu form Boutros Lab on our research done during UCLA Bruins in Genomics 🙆‍♀️🧪: Quantifying the seed sensitivity of cancer subclonal reconstruction algorithms biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I grew up thinking that STR mutagenesis was basically synonymous with replication slippage, so it's super interesting that even these mutations accumulate with time in non-replicating oocytes. Congratulations Michael Goldberg and great to have another nice collab with Aaron Quinlan!
