Our new work in ⁦@Nature⁩ to explain how retrotransposons synthesize the 2nd-strand DNA by a circularization process. Story: made some cool findings (we thought) -> actually scooped 40-yr ago by textbook knowledge -> textbook appear to be incorrect. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Retrotransposons hijack alt-EJ for DNA replication and eccDNA biogenesis

Nature - Retrotransposons hijack the alternative end-joining DNA repair process of the host for a circularization step to synthesize their second-strand DNA.

Called it.

Check out our new study in @ScienceMagazine, where we take on a 100-year-old debate: what’s the role of aneuploidy in cancer? We discovered that genetically removing extra chromosomes blocks cancer growth - a phenomenon we call “aneuploidy addiction”. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Oncogene-like addiction to aneuploidy in human cancers

Specific aneuploidies benefit cancer cells and may be sensitive to treatment

When you centrifuge your E. coli cells are they technically experienceing less time than cells you don't spin? This thought is because I just read "Project Hail Mary" (@andyweirauthor) and have time dialation on the brain.
