And lots of cool cancer genomics/genetics this week in Nature too, www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧪

New pre-print alert 🚨 Interested in what @ikafetzo.bsky.social learned about DNA hypomethylation in cancer from investigating surprising gains DNA methylation in DNMT1 KO cells? Read all about it here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... For a quick summary see this 🧵 1/8 #epigenetics

We hope this is useful for the field. Our paper can be found here: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Or the readcube link below: rdcu.be/d5gAe Finally we wish everyone a happy new year!!! 14/end

Finally, a huge thank you to all our funders without which our work would not be possible @crick.ac.uk, Genomics England, @cancerresearchuk.org, @uclh.bsky.social @bcrfcure.bsky.social, Danish Cancer Society, UCL Cancer Institute and @cruk-cityoflondon.bsky.social. 13/14

I am happy to see that our paper is out just before the new year!!! We have a lab tweetorial out for anyone interested! Got to say it was an exciting journey working with CharlesSwanton, the wider TRACERx and PEACE team, and @nnennayakanu.bsky.social Jiri Bartek labs. 🧵1/14
