In this Journal Club, Shila Ghazanfar highlights a seminal paper by Levsky et al. that paved the way for contemporary single-cell spatial transcriptomics.

In this Journal Club article, Edroaldo Lummertz da Rocha discusses two papers that provided important insights into how tumour cells communicate with distant organs to establish pre-metastatic niches.

In this Journal Club, Shengbao Suo highlights two publications that underscore the importance of genetic regulation of endogenous retrovirus expression in tumours.

Bolognini et al. report evidence of positive selection for human amylase gene duplications associated with the agricultural revolution.

The adoption of microfluidics was fundamental to the development of cost-effective, high-throughput DNA sequencing. As the field progresses towards multi-omics, Lambert et al. reflect on the key concepts underlying microfluidics and how resulting engineering advances at the microscale drove the evolution of genomic sequencing.

In this Journal Club, Alejo Rodriguez-Fratelli discusses a paper by Spudich and Koshland Jr that characterized non-genetic cell individuality in bacteria, a concept with emerging relevance to cancer progression.
