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...

Cancer evolutionary dynamics are quantitatively inferred using a method, EVOFLUx, applied to fluctuating DNA methylation.

Whole-genome doubling (WGD) occurs in ~30% of solid tumors and is linked to poor outcomes. Is it a one-time event or an ongoing mutational process?

In our new @nature.com paper now in print, we show WGD continuously shapes tumor evolution and immune evasion.

The stomach is an organ unique in its function, environment and exposures. How does this affect the mutations that normal cells in the stomach acquire? What does this reveal about the origins of stomach cancer? These questions and more in our @nature.com paper:
