“I was in paradise,” she said. “I would very much like to stay in paradise.” The story of Harvard researcher Kseniia Petrova, who has been in ICE detention for nearly two months and fears she will be deported to Russia. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/s...

Gestational trophoblastic disease encompasses rare benign and malignant placental lesions. @alinanich.bsky.social @dagams.bsky.social & @mnileathlobhair.bsky.social examine #GTD from a molecular perspective, providing a unique framework for understanding this rare disease. doi.org/10.1242/dmm....

Really nice study from Marketa Tomkova's group @ndm.ox.ac.uk drawing link between DNAme, polycomb-antagonism and gene activation in cancer. A nice complement to our paper in ESCs (plus some rad epigenome editing experiments 😍). Congrats to all the authors! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New review paper out, in which we delve into the fascinating world of gestational trophoblastic disease. Never heard of it? Let me fill you in: (a 🧵) #epigenetics #cancer

Did you know the complete T2T sequence of a human genome was achieved by sequencing a cell line derived from a pre-cancerous placental lesion? 🧬🤰 📃 Our latest review explores the molecular mechanisms behind placental tumours and highlights why studying them matters: doi.org/10.1242/dmm....

Are you into #rustlang and looking for (remote) #work? Want to help #cancer #research? We're planning to add some major features to a CLI app that require some serious software engineering skills. Understanding of stats a big +, genetics knowledge a bonus. Send me a DM! (Plz RT for reach) #rustjobs

Excited to share our most recent work in Cell Stem Cell, led by @georgiaplea.bsky.social, characterising determinants of DNA methylation patterning in human trophoblast stem cells! A great collaboration with @vpglab.bsky.social. tinyurl.com/93mchcd2 @loke-ctr.bsky.social @cam-repro.bsky.social
