Today our important study on air pollutants in the promotion of lung cancer has been published in nature led by Will Hill Emilia Lim Clare Weeden Swanton Lab ...Thread below🧵nature.com/articles/s4158…



So excited to share our work with Tobi Alegbe and @Lelandtlr where we used #singlecell on a large #IBD and healthy cohort to identify gastrointestinal cell types, genes and pathways associated with #Crohns disease ! medrxiv.org/content/10.110…


Fantastic workshop yesterday on using the UKBB to scale up your research by Laura Fachal Aleksejs Sazonovs Jeffrey Barrett Sini Kerminen #ASHG23 #ASHG2023



"What sort of idiot makes a poster dependent on internet access in a place notorious for patchy WiFi?" Check out my poster PB125O today at 3 and I can talk you through how we mined the gut for sc-eQTLs #ASHG23 Not at ASHG? Go to the website I made for it tobi1kenobi.github.io/ashg2023poster/


Study over 1973-2001 not only confirms prior observations of increased cardiac & non-cardiac deaths in the winter, but distinct spikes at Christmas and New Year's Day - particularly pronounced for non-inpatient deaths ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/01… Circulation editorial


Out now! scSNV-seq is a new method to directly link genotype to whole-transcriptome readout in high-throughput single-cell perturbation screens🧬 Congratulations to Sarah Cooper @mattcoelho3 Magdalena Strauss and the whole team! Wellcome Sanger Institute EMBL-EBI doi.org/10.1186/s13059…

We are hiring a postdoc for our Open Targets project in collaboration with Gosia Trynka lab. A cool collaborative project between academia and industry using CRISPR screens to investigate how genes associated with immune diseases modulate B cell functions. Human Technopole


We know the importance of subtle gene dosage variation, and yet the main tool of molbio is gene KO/KD. In our new preprint, Júlia Domingo introduced subtle modulations of transcription factor dosage by CRISPRi/a, and quantified responses by scRNA-seq. 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…






Today we report in Nature Genetics the genetic landscape of cancer drug resistance mechanisms from CRISPR base editing screens nature.com/articles/s4158…
