If one paper out today wasn't enough, from the PanProstate Cancer Group (panprostate.org), we've got another outstanding paper. This one looking at biallelic epigenetic inactivation in the first PPCG data set.
Great work. Lucky to be involved.

Out today in Nature from the PanProstate Cancer Group (panprostate.org). Great work from the first and lead authors especially, and everyone else involved. The cumulation of many years of work that I have loved being involved in.

A new paper is out from our research team at the Norwich Medical School at @uniofeastanglia titled "The landscape of microbial associations in human cancer" available from doi.org/10.1126/scitranslmed….
Led by @AbrahamGihawi
@CancerInNorwich
This work is focussed around the @genomicsengland 100,000 genome dataset
A great summary from Abraham can be found here:xitter.cf/AbrahamGihawi/status/1…
An interesting article in Science on the controversy this helps address can be found here: science.org/content/article/…

We're still not finding any good evidence for a microbiome in any cancer type: see our new paper in @ScienceTM led by PhD student @YuchenGe1 science.org/doi/10.1126/scit… and the accompanying news piece, science.org/content/article/…

Many thanks to @danbrewer for your support and guidance through the years and to the other co-authors, funders, @GenomicsEngland and the patients that made this work possible

We demonstrate some microbial patterns hold real clinical promise — from detecting infectious disease to uncovering potential prognostic markers.

We also see the same patterns in other datasets:
