Single Cell Genomics Day: A (Virtual) Practical Workshop. June 12, 2026, organized by @nygenome.org's Rahul Satija Free, livestreamed, no registration.

Excited to share our latest work in Nature. Applying single-molecule and single-cell DNA sequencing methods, we uncover an extraordinary landscape of somatic mutations in immune checkpoint genes in autoimmune B cells, suggesting that somatic mutations may be key to autoimmunity [1/n] rdcu.be/fdqbr

Delighted to have contributed a comment piece and the cover illustration to a @natecoevo.nature.com focus issue on "Evolution in medicine". I discuss how the emerging field of somatic evolution is providing new opportunities to understand disease and promote healthy ageing doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Our March issue is a Focus on "Evolution in medicine", out now! www.nature.com/natecolevol/... Including research & opinion on: ➡️Somatic evolution and health ➡️Predicting intrahost evolution ➡️Collateral sensitivity during antibiotic therapy Cover illustration by Alex Cagan @atjcagan.bsky.social

Thrilled to announce that I'm on Curious Cases tomorrow at 10am on BBC Radio 4! The episode - Immortal Jellies - looks at some remarkably long-lived species and what they can teach us about ageing. This is a key area of focus for our lab. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Julie Ahringer from @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social @geneticscam.bsky.social @cam.ac.uk gives talk on decoding genome regulation during development. Exploring how chromatin accessibility changes throughout development enable single cells to become multicellular organisms.

This is a fantastic opportunity to do exciting research on comparative somatic evolutionary genomics as part of a great team. I've collaborated with Peter for many years and highly recommend this position! Please email Peter if you'd like to learn more, including a copy of your CV.

Peter Sudmant@psudmant.bsky.social · 12mo ago

The Sudmant lab at UC Berkeley is seeking a postdoc to work on a fully funded NIH project to understand differences in DNA repair and somatic mutation across the primate tree of life. Please spread widely to those who may be interested aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF05052

Closing keynote from the fabulous @atjcagan.bsky.social on "The impossibility of whales" discussing somatic mutagenesis across species. Brilliantly delivered and exceptionally illustrated talk, as anyone who knows Alex's work would expect! #EBECancer25 @eventswcs.bsky.social

Thanks @amyboddy.bsky.social for the invitation to run this workshop on where ideas come from in science, barriers to creativity and how to overcome them. Great discussion from the group! I'm a convert to 'night science' @urialonlab.bsky.social

Amy Boddy@amyboddy.bsky.social · last yr.

Late night session on how to think of good ideas!! #EBECancer25 @atjcagan.bsky.social discusses the creativity in science & helped us practice different ways to think and talk about our science.
