Ever wanted to interrogate fusion gene expression at single-cell resolution? Turns out, you can! 🧬 A fun collaboration with the Oshlack lab, spearheaded by Jovana Maksimovic, and a huge team effort! Check out our preprint 👇 @jovmaksimovic.bsky.social @aliciao.bsky.social @10xgenomics.bsky.social

Gene fusions drive ~16% of all cancers & 50-70% of childhood ALL. But standard scRNA-seq can't see them — the assays aren't built to capture fusion breakpoints. We built a way to fix that. @aliciao.bsky.social @sadras-t.bsky.social @petermaccc.bsky.social @onjcri.org.au @10xgenomics.bsky.social 🧵

New paper from the lab! Spoiler: data driven methods performed better for normalisation than spike in CUT&RUN (again). Congratulations especially to Krutika Ambani for most of the work here now embarking on a PhD.

Medical research matters! Australian scientists are making potentially lifesaving breakthroughs into the molecular mechanisms of brain tumours - discoveries with potential for commercialisation and global uptake. We should support them better via the MRFF and NHMRC.

Mark’s deadly cancer will come back. Now scientists know why

When Mark Norris finished his cancer treatment, there was nothing doctors could do except wait for it to return. The father of two says that’s not good enough.

@jovmaksimovic.bsky.social – On how to “easily“ detect fusions in single-cells. 1. Identify fusions with bulk RNA seq. 2. Use Flexify to design fusion detection probes for 10x Flex. 3. Detect fusions and their expression in each cell with scRNA-seq. #abacbs2025
