Our paper is out in @nature.com! Oncogenes are often copy-number amplified on extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) in cancer, but how is ecDNA inherited by dividing cells? Here we identified elements within ecDNA that promote its retention in dividing cells. 1/11 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Genetic elements promote retention of extrachromosomal DNA in cancer cells - Nature

A combination of genome-wide functional screening, imaging and chromatin profiling identifies a new class of highly prevalent genomic elements that help retain extrachromosomal DNA copies in dividing ...

Looking forward, I am launching my lab in the @mitkochinstitute.bsky.social and IMES at @mit.edu, and will continue studying how the unique regulatory landscape of ecDNA enables tumor evolution. We're looking for creative scientists to push this frontier - if you're interested, get in touch!

My new lab at the @molgen.mpg.de will be following up on some of the nuclear organization aspects of ecDNA so please do reach out if this is of interest :)

Our publication is out today!Big Thanks go to my amazing collaborators: @sedonamurphy.bsky.social for her imaging brilliance and @mattjones.bsky.social for his computational support.They both saw the potential in this project and helped me to explore what turned out to be an exciting discovery.

Congratulations team! This is cool and raises many new questions. Are there Rex diseases? How many of these elements we don’t know yet? Will there be a T rex element? And many more
