Cancer-driving genes are often encoded by extrachromosomal DNA circles (ecDNA), which segregate unequally during cell division and lead to tumor heterogeneity. Our new paper shows that distinct ecDNAs can be inherited together by dividing cancer cells. 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Hats off @alyssamkaiser for leading this tour de force, out today in Nature!! Click to read the full thread - & learn how it's furthered our understanding of p53 function in lung cancer. grateful and still starstruck for the chance to have contributed to this work🌟!
Beyond thrilled that my thesis work was published today in @Nature, where we discovered that a p53 alveolar regeneration program underlies functions in lung tumor suppression. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
