Congratulations @vakil-takhaveev.bsky.social @sturlalab.bsky.social and everyone else involved. It was really a pleasure to play a small part in it. I am looking forward to celebrating the next time we meet!
New publication alert! Click-code-seq, our DNA-damage sequencing method, is now out! This tool can advance our understanding of aging, cancer and neurodegeneration. Huge thanks to the amazing collaborative team behind this! @sturlalab.bsky.social @ethz.ch
Mapping oxidatively damaged bases and abasic sites at single-nucleotide resolutions reveals transcription-related strand biases, patterns mirroring cancer mutational signatures, and the action of anticancer drug irofulven

It was a pleasure to talk Genome Stability for a few days with the DFG - FOR5504 for. It is really exciting to see the community in and around Cologne looking for genome stability in whole organisms and the context of the sequence. I am excited about what else is going to come.
