1/17 We are very happy to announce our latest work about the genetic origin and evolution of one of the most aggressive pediatric tumors: “Variable latency between the founder genetic event and rhabdoid tumor expansion” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6.... Follow the thread to know more 👇

Variable latency between the founder genetic event and rhabdoid tumor expansion
Rhabdoid tumors are very aggressive rare pediatric cancers with poor survival affecting very young children. They are characterized by the bi-allelic loss of SMARCB1 or SMARCA4, which is suspected to ...

Major new work by the #TransCODE Consortium out today in @nature.com. Read all about our efforts to shed light onto the forgotten areas of the human proteome. #Microproteins #Peptideins #DarkProteome This was a huge global collaboration, in part funded via #NIH www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/

A large-scale proteomics analysis of the dark proteome by the TransCODE Consortium reveals many translated non-canonical open reading frames to encode microproteins and peptideins.

Tumor promotion through the lens of evolution This review grew out of many long conversations, shared ideas, and lively discussions It has been a real pleasure to think together with Allan, Paul, Eve, and Abel about how tumours develop and how carcinogens shape cancer risk rdcu.be/fdC2J

A short thread. For years, I have been surprised by how much confusion our discovery of clones carrying cancer-driver mutations in normal tissues has caused in the cancer community. Typical questions like: (1) if you see these mutations in normal cells, are they really cancer drivers?... [1/4]
