New paper: doi.org/10.1371/jour...

Why do hypermutant cancers have atypical 'weaker' driver mutations? Modelling clonal dynamics, shows that accelerated mutation rates and biases explain this enrichment in MMRd/POLEd colorectal cancers, shifting expected genotypes.

To celebrate #AdaLovelaceDay, which highlights the contributions of women to STEM fields in memory of mathematician & computer science pioneer Ada Lovelace, we spent a day with PhD student Rashi Krishna who is trying to find biomarkers for a rare but aggressive cancer called leiomyosarcoma.

Great to see this piece with @jmarshlab.bsky.social talking about developing a resource cataloguing computational models for predicting variant effects, what makes non-coding predictors so different from their coding counterparts, and whether VEPs will ever replace deep mutational scanning 👇🏽

“These findings changed our perception of the possibilities hiding in the non-coding space,” says @alextremophile.bsky.social about two papers that revealed that variants in the non-coding RNA RNU4-2 are involved in up to 0.4% of all neurodevelopmental disorders 👇
