our paper out today in Science Magazine showing how plasticity in early cancer progression influences cells’ ability to communicate w/ their environment! huge thank you & congrats Direna Alonso-Curbelo Lowe Lab dana_peer! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…



RNA is informant and agent. Controlled RNA export from cells could enable cell-cell delivery of functional and non-destructive tracking of cell dynamics. Our new paper, led by brilliant Felix Horns, engineers RNA export for both capabilities: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S00…



Super excited to share the first preprint from Karuna Ganesh Lab! An amazing collaboration with dana_peer, led by the phenomenal andrew moorman @f_cambuli and Ellie Benitez Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

In Nature Reviews Genetics today, we discuss recent advances in computational methods for #3Dgenome analysis, pointing to an integrative future. Apologies for any missed refs. Joint w/ @NCITomMisteli Frank Alber Yang Zhang Lorenzo Boninsegna Muyu "Wendy" Yang. 4DNucleome nature.com/articles/s4157…

New in Nature Biotechnology, MSK’s Russell Zhang Kunes, Thomas Walle, dana_peer & team designed Spectra — an algorithm that combines user-provided gene programs with the detection of novel programs — to unravel heterogeneity in large-scale scRNA-seq studies. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Check out our paper and the accompanying perspective by Kuhlman published today in Science Magazine about the surprising role of short tandem repeats in regulating eukaryotic transcription! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… A thread (1/11):

Super excited to share the final publication of Spectra, fruit of the wonderful collaboration between Russell Zhang Kunes and Thomas Walle, a gene program factorization program that I hope will help many interpret and bring insight from their single-cell data -->
