New research using data from the 100,000 Genomes Project is providing insights to help predict patient outcomes and improve the condition’s management. Many thanks to the participants for making this research possible.

Osteosarcoma, an aggressive bone cancer, most commonly affects children and young adults.
New research solves the mystery of what drives the genomic rearrangements causing the aggressive development and evolution of osteosarcoma tumours.

Today, Gary and Neil from the Matthew 22 Fund visited our HQ and gifted us a cheque for £6,500 to help fund our Support & Information service 🧡
The Matthew 22 Special Fund was set up in honour of Gary's son Matthew, who passed away from osteosarcoma: ow.ly/SzFA50Uj5AE

Second week as a lecturer at @UniofReading @ReadingBioSci The most striking aspect of my new surroundings is the @ColeZoology museum downstairs. Interested in evolution and all things life science - come and visit us.

Interesting article in the BBC. I have seen AI use/abuse by students firsthand across our universities, inc MSc level. Literally entire essays written by AI - students learning very little. What we should do remains heavily debated... bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz04…

Registrations still open for this years Somatic Evolution - Tumour Environment symposium (SETM): eventbrite.co.uk/e/somatic-e… If you are interested in cancer evolution this is great place to meet like-minded people.

Super cool deep learning method, just submitted to BioRXiv with @cssb_lab . We can predict cancer type from chromosome copy profile alone, which is useful in a range of scenarios, including cancer of unknown origin: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Very pleased that our bioinformatic method, CNAqc, was published in @GenomeBiology with @gcaravagna and @jhouseham . It is the 1st comprehensive tool for assessing the fit of clonal and subclonal CNAs in cancer genomes: genomebiology.biomedcentral.…

Formulated in the summer of 2019, over a pint with @gcaravagna and @jhouseham proving the point that science it better with friends (and beer)

Excited to see our manuscript on modelling chromosome instability on bioRxiv now!
We developed a unifying framework to model the formation of various complex SVs pervasive in cancer genomes. @cssb_lab,@wchcross, Samuel Winnall
