Congrats to our CRISPy fresh doctor 👏👏 Marcel McCullough for successfully defending his PhD thesis:
🧬✂️Combinatorial Gene Editing in Human Cells to Model Deficiencies of DNA Repair in Cancer
Thx to committee members @CeronLab @LValleResearch and @DSzuts for great discussion!
Double PhD defense day in the lab 🤩
Congrats to our dr. Guille Palou @gpaloumarquez, fresh from the oven 🎊🥳 and similarly so our newly-minted dr. Ignasi Toledano @IgnasiToledano!
Amazing defense both, bravo 👏👏
The youngsters from lab are at @EMBLEvents DNA Replication symposium #EESreplication 🧬
Our alumna dr. Marina @msalvadoresf and PhD Marcell @MarcellVeiner gave talks on their recent work 👏-- identifying DNA replication origins by mutation patterns and neural nets🤖

(3/3)
This "multimodal" approach extracts a cleaner SBS3, a tricky but important mut sig
➡️splits into SBS3a and SBS3b, based on indels
➡️cleaner link w/ BRCA2 variants
➡️strongly predicts survival in 4 cohorts of ovarian cancer (incl @deciderproject)

❓Want to learn an easy trick to improve your mutational signatures?
‼️Extract them from SNV and indel mutations jointly!
A study by our Patricia F. @pferrert now online, focusing on HR deficiency signature SBS3🧬
Here is a TL;DR for you 👇 (1/3)

📜1/4. The Liza preprint:
Copy number losses of oncogenes and gains of tumor suppressor genes generate common driver events of human cancer. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
🍕GenomePizzaLab! Cheers Javi @jlanillos! – at Barcelona, Spain
👩🔬By focusing the analysis on somatic CNA two-hit events, we can identify more driver genes relevant to a specific tumor type.
Similarly so by focussing on known 🔥hotspot mutations.
This could lead to more targeted & effective treatments for patients. #PrecisionMedicine
