Is a #prostatecancer slow-growing and harmless, or aggressive and life-threatening? New research from 🇬🇧 @oxpop.bsky.social shows how blood proteins could reveal clues to prostate cancer risk over a decade before diagnosis. Their insights were presented at @geneticssociety.bsky.social 's #ASHG26.
Finding biomarkers for aggressive prostate cancer
Proteins linked to the immune system, cell adhesion, blood vessel formation, and known prostate cancer genes, were associated with the future risk of developing prostate cancer, including aggressive d...

@eimearekenny.bsky.social at #ASHG26 yesterday spoke about how there is no “typical” genome. Her points were ones we all agree with, but here, we characterise what the “average” individual genome looks like from the data we have available to us.
As Caroline nicely put it: Variation is the norm!

Excited to announce this new publication - everything you ever wanted to know about the "average" human genome - from @exeter.ac.uk @nihrexeterbrc.bsky.social. Variation is the norm; everyone has rare, deleterious, de novo, and pathogenic variants! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Background As whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is increasingly used in clinical and public health contexts, clearer expectations regarding the amount of variation present in the “average” human genome ar...
