Our latest work is out in Nature today. In this paper, we introduce an improved version of NanoSeq, a duplex sequencing protocol with <5 errors per billion bp in single DNA molecules, and use it to study the somatic mutation landscape of oral epithelium in >1000 people www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Somatic mutation and selection at population scale - Nature
A new version of nanorate DNA sequencing, with an error rate lower than five errors per billion base pairs and compatible with whole-exome and targeted capture, enables epidemiological-scale studies of somatic mutation and selection and the generation of high-resolution selection maps across coding and non-coding sites for many genes.

Now online! Optimizing stem cell infusion timing in the prevention of acute graft-versus-host disease
Optimizing stem cell infusion timing in the prevention of acute graft-versus-host disease
Adjusting the timing of stem cell infusion can reduce the incidence and severity of acute graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The rhythmic fluctuations in inflammation levels before infusion dictate subsequent T cell responses, which may be a key factor underlying outcomes based on the time of day that transplantation occurs.

We polled Nature readers to ask if they were thinking of leaving the US for jobs abroad. Three-quarters of them (who said they were US-based scientists) said yes. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...
75% of US scientists who answered Nature poll consider leaving
More than 1,600 readers answered our poll; many said they were looking for jobs in Europe and Canada.
