News from the Dawson Lab @PeterMacCC | circulating tumour DNA and cancer epigenetics


We have a new position for a bioinformatician / computational biologist exploring genomic and epigenomic features of #cfDNA to uncover new cancer biology. careers.petermac.org/job/MELBOURNE-…


Focal deletions of noncoding regions in cancer genomes can have unexpected consequences. Out now in @BloodJournal, we’ve discovered an intriguing mechanism of oncogene activation whereby focal deletion of a ‘promoter tether’ leads to aberrant expression of IRX3 in T-ALL. Thread👇




Cofactors are a crucial part of the gene activation process. Yet, we still don't have a comprehensive understanding of how and why they are used by different genes. Proud to present our attempt to address this key question, now published nature.com/articles/s4158…


Some very exciting grant news this week with five Peter Mac researchers receiving more than $13 million in highly sought after @nhmrc Investigator Grants for projects spanning basic science research and clinical medicine and science research. Read more: petermac.org/about-us/news-…


Our latest paper from @TheDawsonLab - huge congratulations to @HenriettaHolze & @DaneVass who led this work - hope the lineage tracing / barcoding community find this helpful cell.com/cell-reports-m…
