Fluctuating DNA methylation tracks cancer evolution at clinical scale - Nature
Cancer evolutionary dynamics are quantitatively inferred using a method, EVOFLUx, applied to fluctuating DNA methylation.
Studying cancer evolution needs multi-region or single cell seq for phylogenetics, right? Amazingly (I think!) we found single-sample bulk methylation suffices, via analysis of "fluctuating methylation". In @nature.com today led by brilliant @calumgabbutt.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Darwin's famous sketch of a rooted tree, representing speciation
New preprint! Let me tell you a story about trees, caterpillars, brooms, entropy, and getting scooped by 50 years.
Rooted trees of all shapes and sizes crop up all over biology, computing and elsewhere. How can we best compare the shapes of these myriad trees? 1/14

Interested in population genetics of cancer?
If so, have a look at our manuscript accepted by @genetics-gsa.bsky.social, in which we provide a theoretical assessment of the genetic makeup of cancers before and after treatment!

Somatic mutation and selection at epidemiological scale
As we age, many tissues become colonised by microscopic clones carrying somatic driver mutations ([1][1]β[10][2]. Some of these clones represent a first step towards cancer whereas others may contribu...
Resharing here a recent X post. In this preprint, we introduce an improved version of NanoSeq, a duplex sequencing protocol with <5 errors per billion bp in single DNA molecules, and use it to study the somatic mutation landscape of oral epithelium in >1000 people. 1/ www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...
