Presidential budget is out. Here's NSF. Biggest cut, by amount, is $1 billion, or 66.8%, from MPS (Physics & Math directorate). nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/00-NSF...

HMMER is literally *the* go-to tool for profile HMMs in bioinformatics. I've used it countless times on a wide range of projects spanning viruses, retrotransposons, etc. Absolute insanity! hmmer.org

This is a wild post for me to make because I havent shared this with many people. Today, the Lancet published the results of a trial for a novel ASO therapy for FUS-ALS which me and my siblings participated(-ing). You can read about my experience here: www.columbiadoctors.org/news/jeffs-s...
Jeff’s Story: Defying a Family History of ALS through a New Drug Trial

New @theaacr.bsky.social Cancer Discovery paper on ecDNA in urothelial carcinoma reveals how ecDNAs:
💡 Drive #BladderCancer evolution
💡 Promote immune evasion
💡 Amplify oncogenes
💡 Fuel tumour heterogeneity
💡 May be a biomarker in urine for non-invasive detection

Spatial-Temporal Diversity of Extrachromosomal DNA Shapes Urothelial Carcinoma Evolution and Tumor-Immune Microenvironment
Abstract. Extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) presents a promising target for cancer therapy; however, its spatial-temporal diversity and influence on tumor evolution and the immune microenvironment remain l...

Now out in @science.org w/ @jshendure.bsky.social we present 'Genome-shuffle-seq': a method to shuffle mammalian genomes and characterize the impact of structural variants (SVs) with single-cell resolution in one experiment.

Multiplex generation and single-cell analysis of structural variants in mammalian genomes
Studying the functional consequences of structural variants (SVs) in mammalian genomes is challenging because (i) SVs arise much less commonly than single-nucleotide variants or small indels and (ii) ...

Scrolling on Bluesky feels like taking a breath of fresh air after leaving the truck stop bathroom that is X.

Making my first post on Bluesky to share an exciting new paper. Not all focal oncogene amplifications are the same! Really great work led by Siavash Raeisi Dehkordi in the Bafna lab.

Breakage fusion bridge cycles drive high oncogene number with moderate intratumoural heterogeneity - Nature Communications
The impact of breakage fusion bridge (BFB) cycles on tumour heterogeneity and clinical outcomes remains poorly understood. Here, the authors develop OM2BFB, an algorithm to detect and reconstruct BFB ...
