Fascinating work on spatial bias in metastatic subclone selection by @kevlitchfield, @TurajlicLab, @SwantonLab and Paul Bates's group. Stuart Horswell providing the bioinformatics. Nice to see our long-term collaboration with these groups continues to be fruitful. Congrats all.

📰 A multidisciplinary team of researchers led by @kevlitchfield at @uclcancer and @TurajlicLab, @SwantonLab and Paul Bates at the Crick has found that the cancer cells in the centre of tumours have the highest chance of spreading around the body. crick.ac.uk/news/2021-05-1…



More great @nf_core work here from our own @aka_hpatel. This time a new release of nf-core/rnaseq v3.1. The pipelines just keep coming. Congrats to Harshil, all involved and the wider nf-core community for crafting these incredibly useful pipelines.

Pipeline release! nf-core/rnaseq v3.1 (RNA sequencing analysis pipeline using STAR, RSEM, HISAT2 or Salmon with gene/isoform counts and extensive quality control.) See the changelog: github.com/nf-core/rnaseq…

I would like to present our updated pipeline for de novo assembly and intra-host/low-frequency variant calling for viral samples from metagenomics or amplicon-based preps. This has been quite a while coming now but hopefully it was worth the wait! A 🧵👇

Second paper of the day for @BABSBioinformat Congratulations to @KasperFugger, the West lab @TheCrick, our own @aka_hpatel for providing the #CRISPR analysis and #Bioinformatics and all else involved.

Very excited to see our paper out in @ScienceMagazine describing the sensitisation of #BRCA cancer cells to #PARPinhibitors by targeting the ‘nucleotide sanitiser’ DNPH1. Massive thanks @SantosMariana_ @GraemeHewitt2 @BoultonLab @aka_hpatel @CarellThomas science.sciencemag.org/content/372/65…

Was an absolute pleasure collaborating on the #bioinformatics for this paper with @KasperFugger. Whole genome CRISPR screens are incredibly revealing when performed well! Congrats to all involved 🥳🤩😎✂️🧬

Oncogenic RAS transcriptional activity predicts outcome and response to chemotherapy in lung adenocarcinoma is the latest from a collaboration with the #downwardlab and our own @philipeast and @gavinpaulkelly with a nice thread from @sdecarne #KRAS #lungcancer #bioinformatics

Excited to share our preprint on #KRAS in #lungcancer. With @phileast, we show that oncogenic RAS transcriptional activity predicts outcome and response to chemotherapy in lung adenocarcinoma whereas KRAS mutational status does not! Please share 🙂 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…



Great work here from the @tatelab on targeting MYC deregulation in cancer. Bioinformatics support provided by our own Miriam Llorian-Sopena and Probir Chakravarty. Congratulations to all involved.
