Super happy to share that our paper is published in nature today! We've discovered how the breast is protected against tumor initiation—though it comes at a cost. 📰Read all about it here: bit.ly/3MSxoa1 🏥CCB_VIB_KUL Department of Oncology - KU Leuven The Netherlands Cancer Institute Van Rheenen Lab Benjamin Simons

It is official: My lab and I are moving to Yale Cancer Center Center in December! Very excited to be joining the Center of Molecular and Cellular Oncology and @YalePathology Want to be part of Aitken Lab 2.0? We are hiring at all levels - so get in touch! [1/5]

Focal deletions of noncoding regions in cancer genomes can have unexpected consequences. Out now in Blood Journal, we’ve discovered an intriguing mechanism of oncogene activation whereby focal deletion of a ‘promoter tether’ leads to aberrant expression of IRX3 in T-ALL. Thread👇

🎇 Congratulations to our PhD students who received prestigious fellowships from FWO to fund their research! 🚀

Which method works better for single-cell Whole Genome Amplification? By comparing the 3 methods, we found that the answer depends on what matters most in each downstream application.

Very happy and excited to announce that I'll be starting my own research group at EMBL-EBI! The group will focus on lineage tracing, somatic evolution and the origins of cancer. Interested in doing a postdoc in the group or know someone who is? Please reach out!

In just two weeks, we’re gathering an exceptional community of researchers and innovators at the intersection of AI and life sciences in Mechelen for our inaugural symposium. We are grateful to our sponsors: ✨ ICOSA ✨ Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine See you soon!

Hot off the press!! 🔥 Check out our work on the origins and impact of ecDNA. This was a team effort involving multiple collaborators as one of a three part series on ecDNA in nature

Deaminase-assisted Fiber-seq (DAF-seq) has arrived! DAF-seq is an amplification-compatible version of #Fiberseq that resolves genetic and chromatin architectures with single-nucleotide, single-molecule, single-haplotype, and single-cell precision. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The latest hifiasm can directly assemble standard Oxford Nanopore simplex R10 reads, without HERRO correction or other preprocessing, to phased contigs of contiguity comparable to HiFi assembly. Like before, you can further add ultra-long, Hi-C or trio data for better assembly.

🚨So proud to present the first study from our Computational Cancer Genomics (CCG) Research Group group together with Charles Swanton Nnennaya Kanu and led by Olivia Lucas with key collaboration Sophie Ward and fundamental support Rija Zaidi Abi Bunkum & many others Out in Nature Genetics 👇 doi.org/10.1038/s41588… 🧵👇
