- Reposted by Katerina KraftOur paper is out in @nature.com! Oncogenes are often copy-number amplified on extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) in cancer, but how is ecDNA inherited by dividing cells? Here we identified elements within ecDNA that promote its retention in dividing cells. 1/11 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Reposted by Katerina KraftWe are excited to welcome @fueyoraquel.bsky.social, @sedonamurphy.bsky.social, and @jmstein.bsky.social as new group leaders at our institute! Read more about their work: --> www.molgen.mpg.de/2025-10-31-n... All three are recruiting in the IMPRS PhD Call! --> www.molgen.mpg.de/IMPRSPhDproj...
- Reposted by Katerina KraftLooking forward, I am launching my lab in the @mitkochinstitute.bsky.social and IMES at @mit.edu, and will continue studying how the unique regulatory landscape of ecDNA enables tumor evolution. We're looking for creative scientists to push this frontier - if you're interested, get in touch!
- Reposted by Katerina KraftMy new lab at the @molgen.mpg.de will be following up on some of the nuclear organization aspects of ecDNA so please do reach out if this is of interest :)
- Our publication is out today!Big Thanks go to my amazing collaborators: @sedonamurphy.bsky.social for her imaging brilliance and @mattjones.bsky.social for his computational support.They both saw the potential in this project and helped me to explore what turned out to be an exciting discovery.
- Here, we show that the unique regulatory landscape of ecDNA enables an ancient LINE to resurrect and act as an enhancer of Myc. This was so fun with @katerinakraft.bsky.social and @mattjones.bsky.social and others. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
