I am excited to share our lab's first review out with in Blood Cancer Journal. We discuss the impact of transposable elements on genome regulation and variation in both normal haematopoietic processes and haematological cancers. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Low-coverage whole genome sequencing of low-grade dysplasia strongly predicts advanced neoplasia risk in ulcerative colitis
Background The risk of developing advanced neoplasia (AN; colorectal cancer and/or high-grade dysplasia) in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients with a low-grade dysplasia (LGD) lesion is variable and dif...

📰 Some forms of DNA damage linger unrepaired in healthy cells for years, according to a @nature.com study led by Dr Mike Spencer Chapman @mikespencerchapman.bsky.social at BCI and @sangerinstitute.bsky.social.  The findings could inform our understanding of #cancer development. 🧪 #medsky
