It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS or other (non-LCH) dendritic or histiocytic sarcomas cases.

In a new preprint led by @TheNikhilMilind, we explored a fascinating paradox: For many traits the number of duplications or loss-of-function (LoF) mutations is correlated with phenotype. Curiously, for most traits, the AVERAGE direction of LoFs and Dups is the SAME. Why?

Now that blue sky is more active, I guess it’s time for my annual advertisement: I’m always keen to take on a new graduate student to study the evolution of species interactions, especially parasitism and immunity, maintenance of genetic variation, adaptation, speciation.
