We're thrilled to share our collaborative work with Jothi Lab on the human embryo atlas for human blastoid assessment (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…). This much-needed work by Hani Jieun Kim provides insights into popular human blastoid models.

Abstract deadline: **August 16** - two weeks from now. We still have space and looking forward to seeing you at this exciting meeting! Jian Ma Cold Spring Harbor Asia

Happy to see our work on ERCC2 published today in Cell Genomics. We discovered that cancers with somatic ERCC2 mutations have a highly altered genomic distribution of somatic mutation. HKU SBMS 🧵1/n
