Massive congratulations 🎊 @LabRawlins. Very well deserved!
Congratulations @LabRawlins who've been awarded an @ERC_Research Advanced Grant, focused on developing knowledge for future human lung regeneration The work will understand, or decode, how human lungs control the number & type of cells they contain #ERCAd pdn.cam.ac.uk/news/erc-advan…
Very glad to see this preprint by @lh3lh3 and @meyersonlab confirming our finding of artifactual fold-back INV in long reads (Fig S1 in our @naturemethods paper presenting #SAVANA, which filters such artifacts to improve SV calling, hence their relevance nature.com/articles/s4159…

Excited to share our latest publication in Nature Cancer! Our study, "Innate immunity and the NF-κB pathway control prostate stem cell plasticity, reprogramming, and tumor initiation," provides new insights into how prostate cancer originates from basal stem cells.
I am delighted to share our new study uncovering the role of innate immunity in regulating cell plasticity and reprograming of prostate tumor initiating cells published in @NatureCancer . Congrats @ChenJiang919 and @yura__song , the first authors, nature.com/articles/s4301…
Excited to share our latest work! Many thanks to @CedricBlanpain for his great supervision, and to @yura__song and all co-authors for their contributions.
