New preprint from @anadopico.bsky.social (who I have had the great pleasure of supervising with Tom Milne) and our fantastic collaborators in the @davieslab.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... #genomics #GeneRegulation #chromatin
Excited to share that a part of my PhD work is online now on BioRxiv! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... We developed a genome editing approach to target the JAK2 V617F mutation and demonstrate its potential to alleviate MPN hallmarks in primary patient cells. Thread 👇
Thanks so much for highlighting our images created with @rcollepardo.bsky.social
Mapping chromatin's structure at base-pair resolution reveals how it mediates cis-regulatory element interactions 📹 Hangpeng Li et al @jojdavies.bsky.social, MRC Molecular Haematology Unit, @imm.ox.ac.uk @ox.ac.uk in @cellpress.bsky.social ➡️ bpod.org.uk/archive/2025...
#WIMMReads: Oxford scientists, led by James Davies at the MRC WIMM, have captured the genome’s structure in unprecedented detail. 🧪 Read the full story below 👇 @ox.ac.uk @davieslab.bsky.social @jojdavies.bsky.social @medsci.ox.ac.uk
Scientists have the most detailed view yet of how DNA folds and functions inside living cells! The breakthrough helps us understand how genetic differences lead to disease and opens up fresh routes for drug discovery 👇 shorturl.at/nQjsx @jojdavies.bsky.social @imm.ox.ac.uk @medsci.ox.ac.uk

Thrilled that our paper is in print @science.org!! *Platelets sequester cell free DNA, including free fetal and tumour-derived DNA* Tweetorial from @l-cmurphy.bsky.social below. Check out the news feature science.org/content/arti... and terrific editorial from Dennis Lo #platelets_in_the_limelight
By sucking up DNA, clot-producing platelets could help diagnose cancer
The cells could be a new source of tumor DNA for liquid biopsies

⚡️Thrilled that #VirtualLab is published in @nature.com! www.nature.com/articles/s41... We created a team of AI agents to mirror my Stanford lab 🤖. Led by a PI agent, the AI scientists ran their own group meetings and discovered effective binders to new CoVID variants that we validated.
