Excited to share our preprint on pan-cancer analysis of intra-tumor heterogeneity (ITH), led by Avishai Gavish and Mike Tyler. After exploring ITH in small patient cohorts, we now curated scRNA-seq data from >1,000 tumors to broadly define ITH patterns.

It was a sleepless night, with sirens at 9 pm, 3-4 am and 5 am. In between my 6 yo was shivering with fear. And it was worse for civilians in Gaza. It is sad and frustrating beyond words. Every dot marks a siren during 30 min last night in Israel.
