I wrote today about AlphaGenome, Google DeepMind's AI for DNA. It's powerful, experts told me, but it won't solve the mysteries of the genome overnight. Gift link: nyti.ms/4k5NFIl

🧬 New strategy to fight #AML: A study led by @floriangrebien.bsky.social & team at Vetmeduni, @stanna-ccri.bsky.social & CeMM identified the protein SPOP as a direct regulator of the stability of NUP98 fusion oncoproteins, a potential target for new therapies. ➡️ bit.ly/3M2RfWz 📄 bit.ly/4omtZ3x

Our paper in Science is out! @souravagrawal.bsky.social, @rlynn.bsky.social, @susvirkar.bsky.social, and the rest of the team show human RPA is a telomerase processivity factor essential for telomere maintenance. This reshapes our thinking about telomerase regulation. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Human RPA is an essential telomerase processivity factor for maintaining telomeres
Telomerase counteracts telomere shortening by repeatedly adding DNA repeats to chromosome ends. We identified the replication protein A (RPA) heterotrimer as a telomerase processivity factor critical ...

Really pleased to share the labs first publication in paediatric T-cell leukaemia. We find that the type 2 diabetes drug canagliflozin possesses anti-leukaemic effects that can be enhanced via dietary restriction of serine. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Canagliflozin synergises with serine restriction mediating anti-leukaemic effects in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia
T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL) is a haematological malignancy commonly driven by NOTCH1 activating mutations. A concomitant feature asso…

This is not a HiC map! Ever wondered if multiple enhancers get activated simultaneously? We measured chromatin accessibility on thousands of molecules by nanopore to create genome-wide co-accessibility maps. Proud of @mathias-boulanger.bsky.social @kasitc.bsky.social Biology in the thread👇

For my new followers! Focal deletions of noncoding regions in cancer genomes can have unexpected consequences. Out now in @bloodjournal.bsky.social, we’ve discovered a novel mechanism of oncogene activation whereby focal deletion of a ‘promoter tether’ leads to aberrant expression of IRX3 in T-ALL.👇
