Join us! The Machado Lab at Cambridge University is looking for an enthusiastic RA to be a core member of the team and lead the lab's data generation efforts, seeking to understand how tumour and immune cells co-evolve and contribute to cancer progression. jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/47922/

🦍Postdoc in Somatic Evolutionary Genomics🦍 Join my team GeneticsCambridge on a pioneering project mapping somatic mutations across primates! 🌍Collaborate with experts UC Berkeley & Wellcome Sanger Institute. 🔍Experience in genomics? Apply by Nov 16! Details: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/48757/

PhD and Postdoc positions available! Interested in how our immune system evolves with a growing tumour, and how we can use that to fight cancer? Love data analysis? Applications now being accepted in the Machado Lab (machado-lab.org/contact) at the University of Cambridge.

Great to see this milestone study by Matthew Neville and Raheleh Rahbari on postive selection in the male germline finally out. It sheds light on the origins of paternal age associated disorders. Great to have been involved in. See tweetorial here:

First plenary session talk by Marie-Julie Fave on mosaic chromosomal abnormalities in blood across ancestries #ASHG24

Talk by Rajiv McCoy on the genetic architecture of meiotic recombination from over 100,000 in vitro fertilised embryos #ASHG24

Nahyun Kong on the genetic architecture of congenital heart disease in relation to uniparental disomy #ASHG24

Giovanni Quinones-Valdez on long read RNA seq to study alternative splicing #ASHG24

Duncan Palmer on the biobank rare variant consortium powering the discovery of rare genetic associations #ASHG24

Christopher Walsh on somatic monasticism and its link to disease in the human brain #ASHG24

Luis Paulin on detection of mosaics structural variation with Sniffles2 #ASHG24

Laura Conlin on mosaicism in a diagnostic setting #ASHG24

Two days remaining to apply for a Postdoc in my team exploring somatic mutational landscapes across primate species. The position is based GeneticsCambridge and will involve collaboration with Wellcome Sanger Institute and UC Berkeley

Last chance to apply for our fully funded PhD (thanks Cambridge Philosophical Society), welcome to *all students* on somatic evolution in plants. Come and work with me ARU_Biology and Alex Alex Cagan GeneticsCambridge Deadline tomorrow midnight! findaphd.com/phds/project/s…

Enjoyed working with Genome Research to design the cover for their special issue on Long-read DNA and RNA Sequencing genome.cshlp.org/content/34/11.…

Spread the word! Registration for the "Mutations in Time and Space" conference is open. The meeting is all about the origins, patterns, and consequences of mutations across cells, individuals, populations, species. Abstract submission deadline: Jan 17th broadinstitute.swoogo.com/mits2025/597...

I wrote up a presentation from a recent Cancer Research UK workshop on 'the biology of ageing to cancer prevention' into my first post on substack open.substack.com/pub/alexcagan/…
