I did not go to my own PhD graduation ceremony. But today I got a chance to wear one matched gown at Magnus Haughey’s. Proud and happy to have worked with you the past few years together.

10th year anniversary of Genomics England, UK initiative to bring DNA sequencing into healthcare. Alot of science has spun out of this: genomicsengland.co.uk/about-us/10-ye…

At last, some good news: ft.com/content/87093b…

Amazing PhD opportunity with my good colleague Bingxin Lu at Sussex University, especially if you are interested in horizontal gene transfer and recombination in viral genomes: sussex.ac.uk/internal/docto…

Excited to see our manuscript on modelling chromosome instability on bioRxiv now! We developed a unifying framework to model the formation of various complex SVs pervasive in cancer genomes. CSSB Lab,William Cross, Samuel Winnall biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

After many years of work I was a pleasure to see our project published in Nature Medicine. Thank you has to go to all 15,000+ cancer patients who participated in this amazing project: nature.com/articles/s4159…

For those who want to hear more about our project, the BBC have included us in their news feed: bbc.co.uk/news/health-67… I am also giving an interview on BBC Five Live at 5pm today.

Very pleased that our bioinformatic method, CNAqc, was published in Genome Biology with Giulio Caravagna and Jacob H . It is the 1st comprehensive tool for assessing the fit of clonal and subclonal CNAs in cancer genomes: genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Super cool deep learning method, just submitted to BioRXiv with CSSB Lab . We can predict cancer type from chromosome copy profile alone, which is useful in a range of scenarios, including cancer of unknown origin: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Interested in meeting great people and hearing about their cancer research? Sign up for this years SETM symposium held at the Crick June 18th: eventbrite.co.uk/e/somatic-evol…

Registrations still open for this years Somatic Evolution - Tumour Environment symposium (SETM): eventbrite.co.uk/e/somatic-evol… If you are interested in cancer evolution this is great place to meet like-minded people.

Interesting article in the BBC. I have seen AI use/abuse by students firsthand across our universities, inc MSc level. Literally entire essays written by AI - students learning very little. What we should do remains heavily debated... bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Second week as a lecturer at Uni of Reading UoR BioSci The most striking aspect of my new surroundings is the Cole Zoology Museum museum downstairs. Interested in evolution and all things life science - come and visit us.

Today, Gary and Neil from the Matthew 22 Fund visited our HQ and gifted us a cheque for £6,500 to help fund our Support & Information service 🧡 The Matthew 22 Special Fund was set up in honour of Gary's son Matthew, who passed away from osteosarcoma: ow.ly/SzFA50Uj5AE

#PhD opportunity: fully funded PhD position at the University of Edinburgh on 'Modelling stochastic emergence of antibiotic resistance in bacterial populations' with Helen Alexander and myself. For more info on the project see here: biology.ed.ac.uk/alexander/join or get in touch!

New research using data from the 100,000 Genomes Project is providing insights to help predict patient outcomes and improve the condition’s management. Many thanks to the participants for making this research possible. Find out more: genomicsengland.co.uk/news/researche…

It’s World Cancer Day! 🌎 Each year, thousands of people are diagnosed with primary bone cancer around the world, and their voices deserve to be heard 🧡 Learn more: ow.ly/M8Cb50USgeZ Photo: Sarah mk Moody #WorldCancerDay #UnitedByUnique #UntilTheresACure

I'm excited to share our latest research published in Nature Communications: "Cell-cycle dependent DNA repair and replication unifies patterns of chromosome instability." nature.com/articles/s4146… Bingxin Lu William Cross
