Our new study is now live! We introduce DeepHRD - a deep learning model that predicts HRD and patient response directly from routine H&E slides and outperforms molecular testing. ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JC…

Bioengineers @UCSanDiego have unearthed a connection between the genome's structure & cancer mutations. Just as Earth's diverse terrains foster distinct ecosystems, certain regions in the genome (due to their topographic features) act as mutation hotspots. today.ucsd.edu/story/topograp…

We’re delighted to share our new paper, “Therapy-induced APOBEC3A drives evolution of persistent cancer cells”! Thanks to all of you who have supported this project! @lcrf_org @LUNGSTRONGorg @MGHCancerCenter nature.com/articles/s4158…

Didn’t know about this episode. Must watch it. The whole human genome sequence would require way more pages. From start to end it would fill a whole shelve with 30 books, see wellcomecollection.org/articles/WcvK4…

This is the best video to introduce a computational biology course. There will never be a better one

I am excited to share that my postdoctoral research is out online today! The unexpected discovery that the EBV-encoded EBNA1 breaks a fragile site on chromosome 11 by binding to a cluster of EBV-like repeats. @nature @UCSanDiego @DamonRunyon nature.com/articles/s4158…

Humbled and delighted this quote has traversed the universe from my #AlmaMater @mtholyoke where I spoke these words in 2013 to being a source of strength for movements and womenaround the globe. #InternationalWomansDay #WomensHerstoryMonth our words and our voices matter! ❤️✊🏾

Taking inspiration from this gem by @kramdas today: “We need women who are so strong they can be gentle, so educated they can be humble, so fierce they can be compassionate, so passionate they can be rational, and so disciplined they can be free.” #IWD2023

Excited to present our preprint on the latest software tool out of the Alexandrov lab! (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…) This tool allows for the comprehensive classification of CNVs and SVs, enabling mutational signature analysis for large mutations. Thread below: [1/11]

Congratulations @ErikNBergstrom and Ludmil Alexandrov lab for leading this #ecDNA study! Like circular viral episomes, ecDNA can also be the target for APOBEC3 mutagenesis, driving greater mutational diversity and tumor heterogeneity. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Did you notice that many PhD students are from upper-middle or upper class ? And there's almost no students from low class or poverty ? @PhDVoice #academia

It’s officially official! The first UC San Diego Blue Line train departed the new UTC Transit Center at 5:03 a.m. 🎉 Trains will be running every 15 minutes for most of the day, and all Trolley lines are FREE to celebrate the grand opening.

Today is the first day of #WomensHistoryMonth! Making history, @aamhc Chloe Zhao '05 is the first woman of Asian descent and second woman ever to win the best director award in the Golden Globes' 78-year history. #PoweredByMountHolyoke

Chloé Zhao wins best director for “Nomadland” at the #GoldenGlobes. She’s the first woman to win the category in almost four decades. nyti.ms/3kxc0ba

Around the world, tropical trees and seed-dispersing mammals and birds are increasingly threatened by overharvest. While we know how to manage harvest of plants or animals in isolation, how do we manage harvest when plants and animals interact?
