Did you know that transcription start sites harbor a huge excess of germline variants? Turns out this is driven by (divergent) transcription, mitotic, but not meiotic(!), double-strand breaks and early mosaic variants. Read the full story here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Very proud of @BobbyBentham and his excellent new tool…we’ve been working on this for a while, very much hope it’ll be useful.
🚀 Our paper introducing ImmuneLENS, a new tool that measures T and B cell fractions from WGS data. This builds on our previous method, T cell ExTRECT, that used a signal from V(D)J recombination to measure T cells. Out today in @NatureGenet doi.org/10.1038/s41588… 🧵👇

Very happy to announce our paper on mutational signatures caused by MMR knockouts. We find SBS57 is driven by alignment errors in MMR-deficient cells, experimentally confirm the MMR link with SBS1 & show differences between in vitro and in vivo MMR loss: tinyurl.com/ycyprxme
📣 Two ERC-funded positions are available in the lab! If you’re interested in exploring the mechanisms underlying mutation, we’d love to hear from you. ibe.upf-csic.es/work-with-us/j… RTs and shares would be greatly appreciated!
New paper from our lab is now published. About #p53 inducible genomic stability regulator RNF144B, led by PhD student @AbadEtna @UPFbiomed. Thanks to all coauthors, collab @SaraSdelci @weghornlab,funds @CaixaResearch @ContraCancerEs @AgEInves👇jeccr.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… #Aneuploidy
Excited to finally have this preprinted: Deep indel mutagenesis reveals the regulatory and modulatory architecture of alternative exon splicing by @pbcenturion and many. @CRGenomica @sangerinstitute biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Finally published. In this paper we showed that despite heterozygous exonuclease deficiency of pold1 has a minor effect on the germline and somatic mutation rate. Homozygous deficiency increase mutation rate by 2 orders of magnitude and causes cancer nature.com/articles/s4143…
Our preprint about the role of POLD1 deficiency in soma and germline mutations is out. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Two main findings: surprisingly, POLD1 deficiency has a recessive effect on mutation rate; POLD1 alters mutational spectra to the same degree in soma and sperm
We are looking for Independent Faculty to join the @BCNCollab @CRGenomica @CRMatematica in AI/ML, Mathematical Biology, Modelling. Great opportunity for independence at an early career stage. Includes funding for a PhD student. Deadline 31Jan. pls RT crm-jobsboard.kenjo.io/Independent_Re…

In this fun collaboration with the excellent people from the Berg lab, using two tumors with high-resolution sampling, we found that tumor growth takes place throughout the tumor volume rather than just at the surface: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Have you, like us, ever been frustrated with mutational signature refitting results on samples with few mutations? Then you may find our new algorithm, SigNet, useful: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share some new work with Layton Rosenfeld (an amazing former intern in our group). Our microbiota can evolve w/in us in real time. Here, we ask how this ongoing evolution influences (or is influenced by) the ecological structure of the surrounding community.
